Creating project templates

Project templates are used in Trados GroupShare when creating projects from the web interface.

Before you begin

This is not mandatory, but you can use an Trados Studio project template file (*.sdltpl) to base your Trados GroupShare project template on. Uploading an *.sdltpl file will populate the wizard with the data from the template file.

See the Trados Studio 2024 Help for information on how to use Trados Studio to create an *.sdltpl file.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Resources view.
  2. In the Project Templates tab, select New Project Template.
  3. In the General Settings page of the New Project Template wizard:
    1. Type a name, and, optionally, a description for your project template.
    2. Choose a location for the project template in your organization.
    3. Browse for your template file.
  4. Select Next
  5. In the Language Pairs page of the New Project Template wizard, select a source language and one or more target languages.
  6. You can select Finish to save the project template or select Next to continue the wizard with adding translation memories (TMs) or termbases.
  7. In the Translation Providers page of the New Project Template wizard:
    • under All language pairs, select a TM from the ones available in your organization to use for all your language pairs
    • under Specific Language Pairs, select a specific TM from the ones available in your organization to use for a specific language pair.

    1. Enable the batch task by enabling the Enable segment lock batch task box.

    5. For segments coming from translation memories, specify the Match Value threshold for locking segments.
    6. For segments coming from Neural Machine Translation results, specify a Machine Translation Quality Estimation (MTQE) level that ensures only reliable results are locked.

    See Segment locking for more details.
