Creating projects in Trados Customer Portal

You can create projects with source files retrieved via connectors.

About this task

Google does not allow export of its native file format, so Google Sheets, Google Docs and so on are converted to Microsoft Office equivalents. The Microsoft Office version is then uploaded back to Google Drive and a user can open and convert back to native Google format if they wish.

While Trados supports the creation of project templates and projects which have the same source and target language, we strongly recommend that you do not submit such projects via connectors. Your content tool or your CMS application may not support the retrieval of files which have the same source and target language.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your Trados Customer Portal account.
  2. Go to Create a Project.
  3. Fill in the project details and go to the Upload Files area at the bottom of the page.
  4. Click the Select a Connector button.
    The box expands, displaying the Active and Inactive connectors.
  5. Select Google Drive.
    This opens a dialog showing the file listing inside the folder repository.
  6. Select the files you wish to translate.
    The files are retrieved and added to the upload control.
  7. Create the project.
