Creating projects in Trados Customer Portal

You can create projects with source files retrieved via connectors.

About this task

The Box platform supports working with native Google files. Currently, there is no API endpoint which would allow exporting these files into suitable formats (for example, from .gdoc to .docx). Therefore, at the moment, the connector cannot process these types of files.

While Trados supports the creation of project templates and projects which have the same source and target language, we strongly recommend that you do not submit such projects via connectors. Your content tool or your CMS application may not support the retrieval of files which have the same source and target language.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your Trados Customer Portal account.
  2. Go to Create a Project.
  3. Fill in the project details and go to the Upload Files area at the bottom of the page.
  4. Click the Select a Connector button.
    The box expands, displaying the Active and Inactive connectors.
  5. Select Box.
    This opens a dialog showing the file listing inside the folder repository.
  6. Select the files you wish to translate.
    The files are retrieved and added to the upload control.
  7. Create the project.

Results

After your project is completed successfully, the newly translated files are added to a separate folder (on the same navigation level as the original file) that has the same name as the target language you selected. If such a folder does not exist, it will be created. If such a folder already exists, the translated files will be added to that folder.
