Manually Importing the Return Package from WorldServer

If you are a project manager and you received a return package from a translator who does not have the access to automatically upload the return package from Studio, you can log into WorldServer and manually import the return package. You can also specify now if you want to update the WorldServer translation memory with the changes that the translator made in Studio.

About this task

Follow these steps to import WorldServer return packages into SDL WorldServer.

Procedure

  1. Log into the WorldServer system on which the project was created. You can enter the URL of this system directly in your Web browser, or you can click the link in a WorldServer task assignment email message that you received.
  2. Enter your login credentials, and click Login.

    If you clicked the link in a WorldServer task assignment email message, WorldServer displays the Task List for Project page for this project.

  3. If you entered the WorldServer URL in your browser, WorldServer displays its Home page.
    1. Click the Assignments tab, and then click Projects.

      WorldServer displays its Projects page.

    2. Click the name of the project whose WorldServer return package you want to import.

      WorldServer displays the Task List for Project page for that project.

  4. Click Import...

    WorldServer displays the Import Offline Work page.

  5. Click Browse.
  6. Navigate to and select the WorldServer return package file.
  7. If you are authorized to update the WorldServer translation memory, you will see the Update the translation memory using imported assets checkbox. If so, and you want to update the WorldServer TM, select this checkbox.
  8. Click Import.

    WorldServer confirms that you claimed the task(s) whose files you are importing, and that the files are locked in your name. It then imports the target file(s) and, if appropriate, updates translation memory.

  9. To complete the assigned workflow tasks whose files you imported so that WorldServer can move them to the next step in their workflow, select the tasks and click Complete...
    WorldServer displays the Complete Task(s) page.
  10. The Next Step field lists each available path in the workflow. Select the appropriate next step, enter a comment that WorldServer presents to the next person assigned a workflow step in this task, and click OK.

    If you are assigned the next human step in the workflow, the tasks remain on this Task List for Project page, and the step name changes to identify the new step. Otherwise, WorldServer removes the tasks from this page because they are no longer available to you.
