Importing AutoText entries

A list of AutoText entries can be imported from an *.autotxt file. When you import entries, you use a list created by someone else who is using the AutoSuggest feature in Trados Studio. They can export the list and then you can import the file into your Trados Studio version.

Procedure

  1. Go to File > Options.
  2. In the navigation tree, select AutoSuggest > AutoText.
  3. In the Target Language drop-down list, select the language into which you want to import the AutoText entries. This is the target language you are translating into.
  4. Select Import.
  5. In the Import AutoText dialog, locate the *.autotxt file and select Open.
    The AutoText entries from the imported file are now displayed in the AutoText entries list.
  6. Select OK to save the settings and to close the Options dialog.
