Running default batch task sequences on new projects

When you create a project, the last steps of the project creation wizard enable you to run batch task sequences which prepare your project components before you actually start any translation work. There are several intuitive, default batch task sequences: Prepare without project TM, Prepare, Analyze Only, Pseudo-translate Round Trip, and Trados GroupShare Translate and Analyze.

About this task

In order to run the default batch task sequences involved in project creation, you must go through the steps of the project creation wizard. The current procedure briefly describes the wizard pages which precede the batch task sequences. For a more detailed step-by-step account of project creation, consult the relevant topics.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Tasks group, select New Project and go through the wizard pages:
    1. On the One Step page, add your files and specify the available settings.
    2. On the General page, specify: source editing, tokenization for Asian languages, customers.
    3. On the Languages page, specify the available languages if they differ from the ones on the One Step page.
    4. On the Translation Memory and Automated Translation page, add or enable TMs.
    5. On the Termbases page, add or enable TBs.
    6. On the Trados GroupShare page, decide whether you want to publish your project to the SDL Trados GroupShare server.
    7. On the SDL PerfectMatch page, leverage previously translated files which have the same structure and a very similar content to the one you currently need to translate.
  3. On the Batch Tasks page, choose the task sequence which runs on all your project files before any translation work begins. Choose a task sequence from the list and consult its description and associated batch tasks.
