Packages and return packages for Trados GroupShare users

You can send project packages to Trados Studio team members who do not have access to the Trados GroupShare Project Server or create return packages to send back the translated files to enterprise team members who work in WorldServer or TMS.

Packages can be used in server-based projects if you are working with a mixed online/offline workflow.

Creating packages

If you want to include files in a project package from a project, the latest versions of the files are automatically downloaded and checked out from the Project Server when you create the package. If there are files that are currently checked out by other users on the server, you will not be able to include those files in the package. A warning message indicating why the file is not selected for processing is displayed on the Select Files page of the wizard.

Creating return packages

If you want to include files in a return package from a project, the latest versions of the files are automatically downloaded but are NOT checked out from the Project Server when you create the package.

To ensure that you have the most up-to-date files to include in the return package, RWS recommends that you only create return packages when:
  • You are connected to the Project Server.
  • All of the files you want to include in the package have been checked in by other users.
