Changing Folder and Asset Properties

All WorldServer folders and assets have properties. A folder or asset’s properties determine the associated locale, the translation memory that is used during translation, the terminology database in which you search from the translation workbench, and other behavior. Set and modify properties for folders and assets in the Change Properties dialog box (Management > Asset Interface System > View and Change Properties).

For each property, a folder or asset has one of the following values:

  • No value
  • The default value, which is the value inherited from its hierarchical parent
  • An explicitly set value, which is different from that of its hierarchical parent

You need only associate the top-level folder or asset for each property. You do not need to explicitly set properties for sub-folders or assets because they will automatically inherit the property from the parent.
