The Task List Page—Selecting Tasks within a Project

About this task

Instead of selecting one or more WorldServer projects, you may want to package some or all of the individual tasks within a WorldServer project. Each task is associated with a single file in the WorldServer project. To select individual tasks:

Procedure

  1. In your Web browser, log into WorldServer.
  2. Click the Assignments tab. Then click Projects.

    WorldServer displays the Projects page that lists projects assigned to you.

  3. Click the name of the Project whose tasks you want to see.

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

  4. Select one or more tasks. To select all of the tasks in the project, click the checkbox in the header bar of the task list.
  5. Position your mouse over the expansion triangle at the right side of the Edit/Translate button.

    WorldServer displays a menu of supported editors.

  6. Click In SDL Trados Studio...

    WorldServer displays the Create Translation Kit for Projects window. For each selected task, WorldServer:

    • Claims the task for you, to prevent other users from working on the same file
    • Locks the target file, again to prevent conflicting updates
    • Formats the source file for translation
    • Finds WorldServer translation memory and WorldServer terminology matches for the file

    WorldServer then gathers all of this information into a project package and downloads that package file through your browser. The filename conforms to this format: tasks_projectname_project#_target-locale_xliff.wsxz.

  7. Save this file to a known location on your PC. (Do not select the default operation, which is to open the project package directly in Studio.)
