Step 4 - Sending files for review in a Regulated Industry

After you have finished translation of a document, you can send it for review before generating the final translated file. These workflows allow you to send it to several different levels of review and to reviewers who could be reviewing it in Trados Studio or outside Trados Studio.

About this task

During this process, you can, for example, get a subject matter expert review to check the meaning in the translated text and a proofreader review to check the spelling and punctuation.

Procedure

  1. Translate the file and save your changes.
  2. Send the file for review by choosing one of the Regulated Industry methods for users who do not work with Trados Studio:
    OptionDescription
    Bilingual Review in Word

    If you are in a workflow where the reviewer does not have Trados Studio, you can export to a bilingual review file in Microsoft Word format. You can then review the file in Word and update Trados Studio with the corrections. For additional external review file formats, see the available applications on RWS AppStore.

    Review an Exported Target File

    If you need to send the native target file to a reviewer and then import the changes they made back into your project, you can use the Trados Studio Retrofit feature.

    When importing the reviewed target file, you can also check and, if necessary, correct the reverse alignment.

    Review by a Regulator in a Bundle

    If you work in a Regulated Industry and have purchased a license containing this feature, you can send a bundle of files to an external regulator for review. This bundle contains a specific collection of files needed by the regulator. The regulator is then able to review the files in Word and you can update Trados Studio with the corrections.

    You can also send the file for review as part as one of the following workflows for users who work with Trados Studio:
    • Shared project workflow (via Trados GroupShare)
    • Package and return package workflow (via WorldServer)
    • Package and return package workflow
