Downloading latest file version in bulk mode

You can batch download (bulk download) the files corresponding to the tasks you accepted. You can also choose to download only completed files (by selecting the Only completed files check box).

About this task

Downloading the latest file version in bulk mode, for several tasks, is useful when you want to process several files offline and you do not want to open every single task to perform the download.

You can bulk download files for the following task types: Engineering, DTP, Final Check, Translation, Linguistic Review, Implement Customer Review. You must accept the tasks before being able to download their latest available file version.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Trados Enterprise (by accessing this link: http://languagecloud.sdl.com/lc).
  2. Go to the Inbox view.
  3. Select the Active tab.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Identify the tasks and select their check boxes. Select More actions > Download and choose the type of files you want to download: Target files > Current version, Target files > Native version, Source files. Note that if you select Target files, you can also choose to download only completed files (by selecting the Only completed files check box).
    • Identify tasks from one project and select their check boxes. Select More actions > Download all files from project and choose the type of files you want to download: Target files > Current version, Target files > Native version, Source files. Note that if you select Target files, you can also choose to download only completed files (by selecting the Only completed files check box).
    • Do not select any task. The list of projects is populated only with the projects where you have Active tasks, namely tasks you have accepted. Identify the PROJECT column, and from the context menu of a specific project, select Download all files from project. Choose the type of file you want to download: Target files > Current version, Target files > Native version, Source files. Note that if you select Target files, you can also choose to download only completed files (by selecting the Only completed files check box).
  5. Extract the files from the *.zip archive.
    • For the Translation, Linguistic Review, and Implement Customer Review tasks, the latest file version is an *.sdlxliff file. The file name is concatenated as follows: task ID + Underscore symbol + target file name + source file extension + sdlxliff.
    • For the Engineering task, the latest file version is a source file. The file name is concatenated as follows: task ID + Underscore symbol + source file name + source file extension.
    • For the DTP and Final Check tasks, the latest file version is a fully translated target file. The file name is concatenated as follows: task ID + Underscore symbol + target file name + target file extension.
  6. Work on your files offline:
    • Translate or edit the files.
    • Rename the files. If you rename your file, make sure that you DO NOT delete the task ID. If you delete the task ID, the system cannot match your file with the project it belongs to when you perform the batch upload operation. Note that the file upload is currently available only for the following tasks: Engineering, DTP, and Final Check.
    • Save the file with a different file type extension. If you change the file type extension, make sure the new file type extension is included and configured in the file type configuration of the project.
