Step 1a: Creating projects from scratch

When you create projects from the SDL Trados GroupShare web interface, you create a storage for all the files that need to be translated. At this stage, you also decide which organization is in charge of your project. You can either create projects from scratch or starting off from previous projects.

Before you begin

Make sure you create a:
  • Project template
  • *zip archive from a folder named SourceFiles that contains the files for translation, if you want to upload a group of translatable files in one shot

Starting with SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1, the project template, which you create in SDL Trados Studio, can include file assignments. This means that you can decide which users work on your files, for each file phase, when you actually create the template.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select New Project.
  2. In the New Project window. select the General Settings tab:
    1. Provide a name and a description for your project.
    2. Select a location in the organization.
    3. Select a project template from the list.
    4. Browse for or drag and drop translatable files: the *zip archive (containing all the project files) or individual files.
    5. Optionally, set a due date and time for your project.
    6. If you select the Restrict file downloads for this project checkbox, only the roles which have the Secure Project File Download permission will be able to download the source files and the translated files. By default, the Secure Project File Download permission is available for the following roles: Administrator, Power User, Project Manager.
  3. Select Finish.
