Translating and checking in files from SDL Trados Studio

After you finish translating the shared files in SDL Trados Studio, you must check them back in to SDL Trados GroupShare from SDL Trados Studio.

About this task

After assignments are completed, users must check in their translation or review tasks performed in SDL Trados Studio, and must move them to the next file phase from the same SDL Trados Studio. Make sure that the users who check in their assignments have the correct permissions to change the file phases, namely Change Current Phase and Change Any Phase. Assign users the appropriate roles or adjust the permissions associated to their roles before users reach this project step.

Procedure

  1. Open your SDL Trados GroupShare assigned files in SDL Trados Studio.
  2. In SDL Trados Studio, in the Files view, select the file you want to check out.
  3. On the Home tab, select Check out.
  4. On the Home tab, select one of the following: Open for Translation, Open for Review, Open for Sign-Off, depending on your assigned tasks and project phase.
  5. Start working on the file.
    All the segments which were pre-translated based on similar, previously translated projects (namely, based on the PerfectMatch functionality), are displayed as locked and signed-off. You can still edit them, if needed.
  6. When finished, in the Files view, select the file you want to check in.
  7. On the Home tab, select Check in.
  8. Expand Change Phase and select the next phase the document should go to.
