Adding files to a project

When you create a project, you add files to a project on the Project Files page of the New Project wizard. You can then specify their usage and file settings.

About this task

You can also merge multiple files together. When you add files, the New Project wizard attempts to identify the file type, usage and filter settings for each file and these are displayed in the Type, Usage and File Type Identifier columns. The New Project wizard automatically adds a filter settings file to relevant files once it has identified the file type. These settings can be modified as needed.

Add files to a project

You can add files individually or you can add a folder structure. All of the files in the folder structure are added to the project. The New Project wizard creates a folder for every target language you have selected, and places the prepared *.sdlxliff files and any reference files in the appropriate language folder. If you selected files in a folder structure, this structure will be replicated in the target language folders.

Procedure

  1. Display the Project Files page of the New Project wizard.
  2. Add the files:
    • You can drag and drop the files into the right-hand side pane on the Project Files page of the New Project wizard.
    • If you want to add files individually, click Add Files.
    • If you want to add a folder or folder hierarchy containing files, click Add Folder.
