Opening files in Starter and Express

You can translate and review files, in the Editor view, only after opening them for a specific purpose.

Depending on the workflow you use, you can open a file in different ways:

Workflow Supported Edition OptionDescription
Project Package TranslationStarter and Express editions

Open for Translation

Open for Review

Open for Sign-off

Use these commands to open a file from a project package for translation or review. You must have first opened the project package and it must be the active project. This automatically opens any translation memories (TMs), termbases, AutoSuggest dictionaries and settings associated with the project.
Single-file TranslationStarter edition

Translate Single Document

Use the Translate Single Document command to open a file and start a new translation or continue a translation. You can also quickly open a file by a drag-and-drop operation.
