Changing file usage

File usage indicates why a file has been added to a project. For more information about file usage, see About file usage.

About this task

By default all project files are assumed to be Translatable. However, file types which are not supported by SDL Trados Studio are given a usage of Reference. If you have added some reference files, their usage should be changed to Reference, otherwise an *.sdlxliff file will be produced for them.

To check and change your file usage:

Procedure

  1. Display the Project Files page of the New Project wizard.
  2. Add the files you want to include in the project.
  3. If the usage is incorrect, click Change File Usage.
  4. Select one of the following:
    • Translatable
    • Reference
    • Localizable
  5. Click OK to make the change.
