Changing the project settings

You can change the list of source files or target languages in the Project Setup Dialog or in the project window. The following commands are available from the Project/Setup menu:

Project settings
Opens the Project Setup dialog.
Add source
Opens the Adding Source Files dialog, in which you can select one or more files to be localized. If you select only one file, the Source String List Properties dialog appears next.
Delete source
This command is available under the Add source button. When you delete a source, SDL Passolo removes the currently selected source from the project. This also deletes any associated translation lists.
Add language
Opens the Language Dialog, where you can select a new language.
Delete language
This command is available under the Add language button. When you delete a language, Passolo removes the currently selected language from the project. This also deletes any associated translation lists.
Delete translation list

If certain translation lists are not required - for example, when a specific source file is not to be translated to all target languages - the corresponding translation lists can be deleted. This helps to keep the project window "tidy" and also reduces the size of the project file.

In the project window, the lists then appear in the Deleted translation lists section. If you later decide that you do need these lists you can restore them by right-clicking on them and selecting Restore from the shortcut menu. The lists are thus returned to the project structure. Before they can be edited, the translation lists have to be generated/updated. See Creating String Lists.

Move up
The currently selected source file or language is moved up one position. You can use this function, for example, to move specific source files that you want to process to the top of the list for easier access.
Move down
The currently selected source file or language is moved down one position.
User-defined Properties
This command defines additional properties to be used in the project. See User-defined Properties.
