Creating projects

When you create projects from the Trados GroupShare web interface, you create a storage for all the files that need to be translated. At this stage, you also decide which organization is in charge of your project.

Before you begin

Make sure you:

  • Create a project template. You will need it during the project creation wizard.
  • If you want to upload a group of translatable files in one shot, you need to create a *zip archive that contains the files for translation.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select New Project.
  2. In the General Settings tab of the New Project window:
    1. Provide a name and a description for your project.
    2. Select a location in the organization.
    3. Select a project template from the list.
    4. Browse for or drag and drop translatable files: the *zip archive (containing all the project files) or individual files.
    5. Optionally, set a due date and time for your project.
    6. If you select the Restrict file downloads for this project checkbox, only the roles which have the Secure Project File Download permission will be able to download the source files and the translated files. By default, the Secure Project File Download permission is available for the following roles: Administrator, Power User, Project Manager.
  3. In the New Project window, select the PerfectMatch Settings tab.
  4. If you have custom fields in your account Resources that want to apply to the new project:
    1. Click the Custom Fields tab in the New Project window.
    2. Select a Custom Field from the drop-down list.
    3. Fill in a Value for the custom property.
    4. To add more custom fields, select the plus sign and repeat steps b and c.
  5. Select Finish.
    The new project is added to the Projects list and instantly visible to all the users with access to the project. Trados GroupShare also shows these users an on-screen notification about the new project.
