Moving local project files to the cloud

Create cloud projects from pre-translated .SDLXLIFF files in local prrojects or packages. This enables you to review or finalize the files in a cloud workflow and back up your translation projects in your cloud account. Converting pre-translated .SDLXLIFF files to cloud projects can also be useful for accessing the extended review capabilities available in the Online Editor.

To use .SDLXLIFFs as source files for your cloud projects:

  1. Open the project or package that contains the .SDLXLIFF files you want to move to the cloud. By default Trados Studio stores project folders under C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Studio 2024\Projects.
  2. Create a new cloud project and upload the .SDLXLIFF files from their corresponding language folder.

Limitations

Working with .SDLXLIFFs as source files has some by-design limitations whenever a native file is required during verification or in the Generate Target Translation (cloud projects) batch task. This is because these options require access to the original native source file under certain circumstances. For generating the translated target file in the original format, use the Export Files batch task with the Native Target Files option instead.
