Working with External Translators

After you have created a licensed translation bundle, send it to the translator for processing. However, please note the following issues:

  • After the export of a translation bundle, the exported parts of the project can no longer be worked on.
  • Team Unlimited is the only SDL Passolo edition that allows you to merge translation bundles that were modified by several translators simultaneously. If you run short of licensed translation bundles with the other Passolo editions, you can sequence the translation process accordingly or purchase a Team Edition with more licenses.
  • If the translator delivers only a partial translation, be sure to choose the Do not release string lists option when you import the translation bundle. You can then import the translation bundle as often as you want until the translator finishes the job. For the final import this option can be switched off, or the Un-Export function in the Translation List Properties dialog can be carried out following the import.
  • The translator must not make any further changes to the translation bundle after sending it back for final import into the project. Following the final import of the translations and release of the translation lists, a new translation bundle can be created and sent to the translator. Any subsequent changes made to the original translation bundle will be lost.
