Running batch tasks: Generate Target Translations

You can run a batch task which generates a translated version of the original file which was submitted for translation. For example, if the original file submitted for translation was a Word file, a translated Word file is produced. The translation text is taken from the target language *.sdlxliff file.

About this task

The location to which the translated file will be generated defaults to the same location where your source and bilingual files are saved in your project.

Procedure

  1. Decide whether you want to run the batch task sequence on an entire project or some project files:
    • To run batch task sequences on an entire project, go to the Projects view and select the project you want to run batch task sequences on.
    • To run batch task sequences on a file or a selection of files, go to the Projects view, select a project, and then go to the Files view and select the file or files you want to run batch task sequences on.
  2. On the Home tab, select Batch Tasks.
  3. Select Generate Target Translations.
  4. On the Batch Tasks page, consult the task/task sequence description. If you want to run another task, select it from the Task Sequence drop-down list.
  5. Select Next.
  6. On the Files page, all files for the active project are listed. Select the files on which you want the batch task to be run.
  7. Select Next.
  8. On the Settings page, select Finish.
