Step 2: Create a project template

Project templates (*.sdltpl) are created in Trados Studio and they specify how a translation is handled. There can be only 1 Language Pair per project template.

  2. Go to the Home view, and in the Tasks group, select Create Project Template.
  3. Enter a name and a folder for your project template.
  4. Under Language Pairs, select the language pair that the project template will use. There can be only 1 Language Pair per project template.
  5. Under Translation Memory and Automated Translation, add the TM (the TM should be hosted in Trados GroupShare), and then add Language Weaver Edge as MT provider (the plugin must be installed in Trados GroupShare).
