Package and return package workflows
A package is a file structure which contains all the files that need to be sent to a project team member in order for them to work on the project. When translators or reviewers finish their work, they send their work back to the person who assigned it to them, in return packages.
Packages are used to send work to other team members when you are working in an offline workflow.
| Package Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Project Package | A project package contains files on which a project team member has to perform a manual task such as translation or review. You can create and open native Trados Studio project packages (
The contents of a project package vary. They can include:
|
| Project package saved to cloud | A Project packages saved to cloud are created when you use the Save to Cloud feature on a project package. They behave similar to local project packages, with the added benefits of our cloud platform. This means that you can save a project package to cloud, work on it using the Online Editor with your peers, and then create return packages from Trados Studio. |
| Return Package | A return package contains project files for which a specific manual task has been completed (for example, project files that have been translated or reviewed). It can also contain files for which further work needs to be completed. For example, a reviewer may want to return a translated file because of an incorrect translation which the translator needs to fix. You can create and open native Trados Studio return packages ( |
