To import Projects

You can import translation kits back into the Projects or Tasks list. When finished translating Assets offline with a translation tool, you must import the completed translation kit back into WorldServer.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects page. To access the Projects page, you can either go to Home > Overview and then click the number of projects on the top right of the screen, or you can go to Home > Projects on the slide-out navigation pane.
  2. On the ribbon, click Import. You do not need to select a Project or Task when you click Import because the project information is contained in the translation kit that you will import.
    The Import Offline Work dialog box displays.
  3. In the Import Offline Work dialog box, click Browse and select the file to import or use drag-and-drop. The file you choose must be a valid completed translation kit originally exported from WorldServer and translated offline.
  4. If you have the appropriate permissions, you can choose whether to update the translation memory based on the contents of the translation kit. To insert matches, check the Update the translation memory using imported assets check box. You may not want to insert the matches into translation memory if updating the translation memory is the responsibility of the reviewer, who can update the translation memory after reviewing the translation.
  5. If you have the appropriate permissions, you can choose to run the import in the background. If so, you can freely disconnect from WorldServer while waiting for the job to run, and you will be notified when the job completes. If you choose not to run the job in the background, you must stay connected to WorldServer until the job finishes.
  6. Click Import.

    If the Tasks you exported are no longer claimed by you, the Tasks will not be imported. There may be other reasons for which a Task is not imported. Import errors are listed in the Import dialog box.

    The Task status changes to the imported icon when the import is complete.
