Resources

Resources refer to all the elements a localization project needs in order to be complete.

What is this section about?

Resources in Trados Team include:
  • Users and groups - You assign project tasks to users and groups. Therefore, you must configure users and groups before project creation.
  • Customers - You localize content for a given customer or department. Therefore, you must organize your account structure before project creation.
  • Linguistic resources - You use linguistic resources to leverage previously localized content. Therefore, you must configure your linguistic resources before project creation. Linguistic resources include translation memories, terminology, Machine Translation subscriptions.
  • Workflows - Your localization project goes through a sequences of stages (consisting of tasks). Therefore, you must configure the steps and the step assignees before project creation.
  • File Types - You must ensure that the content you localize is in a file format which can be read and interpreted by the system. Therefore, you must check your file type list and their settings before project creation.
  • Custom Fields - You can tag your projects based on your own criteria. Therefore, you must configure these criteria before project creation.
  • Project Templates - You aim at saving time and reusing resources when creating new projects. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you create project templates per customer. A project template is an artefact which brings together all the elements you need to create a project: language pairs, customer (folder or location), users and assignments, workflow, linguistic resources, settings. If you create a localization project based on a project template, then you just need to add the files that need to be localized and you are ready to go.

Who is this section for?

The operations detailed in this section can be performed by administrators and lead project managers:
  • Administrators are users who are part of the Administrator default group located in the Root folder. Administrators have access everywhere (any folder).
  • Lead project managers are users who are part of the Lead Project Manager group in a customer folder. Lead project managers have the same permissions (can do the same things) as administrators, but only at customer folder level. Administrators create Lead Project Manager groups and add users to these groups for each customer where it is necessary.
