Translating and undoing file check-out from SDL Trados GroupShare

When files are in translation (therefore, checked out), you can revert the check out operation, from SDL Trados GroupShare, if you are assigned one of the following roles: Project Manager, Power User and Administrator.

About this task

The undo check-out operation disconnects the persons who are currently translating the files in SDL Online Editor and does not preserve the changes performed on the file in SDL Online Editor. This option is particularly useful if you experience server or file conversion issues.

Procedure

  1. Translators do one of the following:
    • Click the file-name link in the notification email to open their SDL Trados GroupShare assigned files in SDL Online Editor.
    • Log in to SDL Trados GroupShare, go to Dashboard, and, under Your Tasks, select near the assignment translators want to work on.
    • Log in to SDL Trados GroupShare, go to Projects, select the project where the assignment is stored, select the checkbox next to the file translators want to work on, and then select Open in Editor.
    The file automatically opens in SDL Online Editor and is ready for editing.
  2. Translators edit the file in SDL Online Editor.
  3. Project Managers, Power Users and Administrators can undo the file check out in SDL Online Editor. In SDL Trados GroupShare, go to the Projects view, open the project where the file is located, select the file you want to force check in, expand Force check-in, and then select Undo check-out.
