Adding files to existing projects that are not started

You can create cloud projects without any files. Before you can start your project, you must add at least one translatable file.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Trados Team (by accessing this link: http://languagecloud.sdl.com/lc).
  2. Go to the Projects view.
  3. Select the check box corresponding to the project for which you want to add files.
  4. Select Open.
  5. Go to the Files tab and select Update files to add translatable files or Update reference files to add reference files.
    • To specify the project target language(s) on all translatable project files:
      1. Select Default view for adding files.
      2. Select Add more files.
      3. Browse for or drag and drop your files.
    • To specify different target language(s) for each translatable project file:
      1. Select Advanced view.
      2. Add one or more files by browsing for them or by dragging and dropping them. In the Select target languages for your files dialog, add or remove target languages, and then select Confirm. Every file needs to have at least one target language which must be one of the target languages of the project.
      3. To change the target languages for a file, select the check box in front of your file, and select Move to target languages. Add or remove target languages, and select Confirm. Alternatively, go to the LANGUAGES column of the file and edit its target languages.
      4. To add *.sdlxliff files to your project successfully, make sure that the source language and the target language of the *.sdlxliff matches the source and target languages of the project. If there is a language mismatch between the *.sdlxliff file and the project, the *.sdlxliff file will be added to the project as a reference file and an error will be generated. As part of the error message, you can replace the faulty *.sdlxliff, which, if successful, will result in a correct *.sdlxliff source file added to your project.
      5. To add a *.zip archive, select it from your local storage, and then decide if you want to keep the archive as or extract its files:
    • Keep the archive as is, without extracting any of it files. The archive is marked as Reference automatically.
    • Extract all the files in the archive. The files are marked as Translatable or Reference automatically, depending on the supported file types. The original *.zip archive is marked as Reference automatically.
  6. Add the files and select Update.

What to do next
