Creating translation requests

A project is created automatically in Trados when you request a translation.

About this task

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. In Joomla, go to Components > RWS Translator, and then select the appropriate component.
  2. Select New. A screen shot that highlights the New button.
  3. Specify all the information required for your project, and then do one of the following:
    • To create the translation request and return to the component page, select Save.
    • To create the translation request, and then immediately start creating a new request, select Save & New.
