Adding TMS File Types

A TMS File Type defines the type of content which can be passed for translation. If your version of SDL TMS is not 11.2 or higher, you need to add a TMS File Type to SDL TMS for each translatable Content Manager item type. If SDL TMS receives a file from this organization and the file type does not appear here, the file will not be processed.

  2. Select the Setup tab at bottom left.
  3. In your Organization > File Types folder, click Add File Type.
  4. Add a TMS File Type for each translatable Content Manager item type:
