Review workflow for files exported as regulator review bundles

If you work in a Regulated Industry and have purchased a license containing this feature, you can send a bundle of files to an external regulator for review. A bundle is a *.zip file that contains a specific collection of files needed by the regulator.

Note that the regulator can review the files outside Trados Studio, in Microsoft Word. The reviewed file from the bundle can then be imported back into Trados Studio and the *.sdlxliff updated with edits, tracked changes, reviewed statuses and comments.

Supported file types

You can only create bundles from projects that contain at least one *.docx file. You cannot create bundles from other file types in Trados Studio.

Creating bundles

A separate bundle is created for each target language. The name of the bundle is automatically generated and observes the following name convention:

[Project name]_[Target language code].zip

Regulator Review workflow

  1. Translate the file in Trados Studio.
  2. Use the Create Regulator Review Bundle batch task to create a file bundle to send to the regulator.
  3. Regulators can make changes to the target file (FileName.docx.target.docx) in Microsoft Word, by adding comments, tracking changes or making corrections.
  4. Use the Update from External Review batch task to import the changes and update the *.sdlxliff file in Trados Studio.
  5. Open the file for translation in Trados Studio and make the corrections.
