Step 1: Creating the project in One Step
All the settings you need to create a project are available on the One Step page of the Create New Project wizard. However, you can further customize your project settings by going through all the Create New Project wizard steps.
Before you begin
Place the project source files in a folder and place any reference files in a sub-folder to the project source files.
Create projects from individual files or from multiple files organized in a folder. You may want to add all reference files in a separate subfolder.
- Which translation memories (TMs) you want to be applied to the file
- Which tasks you want the project wizard to perform on your files (for example, convert files to translatable format)
- What target languages the files are to be translated into
- Whether this project should be based on settings used in an earlier project or a template
About this task
The fastest way to create projects is if you base projects on the default template, a custom template or a previous project. The new project will take on the settings of the template or of the previous project you choose. You can edit the project settings after the project is created, if needed.
You must specify the usage and file settings for the files you added to the project, so that translators and reviewers can start working with them. You can also merge multiple files together, add folder files or create new folder files to structure the work according to your needs. If you select files in a folder structure, this structure will be replicated in the target language folders. The Create a New Project wizard creates a folder for every target language you have selected and places the prepared *.sdlxliff files and any reference files in the appropriate language folder.
The Create a New Project wizard automatically adds the file type settings to the relevant files once it has identified the file type. These settings can be modified as needed.
