Once the pre-translation tab is enabled, you will need to properly set up the pre-translation with your workflow.
To set up the pre-translation feature, perform the following:
Select the Project Workflow tab from the project summary page.
From the Pre-translation Notification list box, select the team or person who will be notified when a document is uploaded to pre-translation, and then click Save.
Note: The team or person selected will automatically be notified every time a document is uploaded into pre-translation.
Select the Settings tab.
Under the Document Options section, select the file types that you want to require pre-translation, and then click Save.
You can select one of the following options:Don’t allow – disable pre-translation for all files
Any file – files that cannot go through the regular workflow or cannot go through an importer are sent to pre-translation
Specific files – only the specified file types are sent to pre-translation
Note: You can specify multiple file types.
The following file types are supported by the importer:
odg | strings | regex | pptx | csv | ods | zip | wix | md | docx | sdlxlf | properties | pdf | ppt | odp | po | xml | tmx | srt | html | indd | txt | tsv | lang | xls | icml | mif | rtf | json | rdf | catkeys | xlf | cpp | ditamap | vsdx | idml | ttx | yml | xlf2 | dtd | txml | doc | dita | ts | odt | resx | xlsx
Note: When a specific file that is accepted by the importer is chosen, you can force the file to go into the pre-translation queue.
For example:
PO files are automatically sent to the importer, however, if a PO file is specified in the "Specific files" option, then it will go to pre-translation for that project instead.
The following file types are restricted by the importer:
ade | adp | air | apk | app | appimage | appx | appxbundle | bat | bin | cab | cgi | chm | cmd | com | cpl | deb | dll | dmg | ear | ex | exe | ex_ | flatpak | hta | ins | ipa | iso | isp | jar | lib | lnk | mde | msc | msi | msix | msixbundle | msp | mst | nsh | pif | ps1 | rpm | scr | sct | shb | snap | sys | udl | vb | vbe | vbs | vxd | war | wsc | wsf | wsh
Note: Any file that is uploaded in the project that matches the file types specified will be automatically placed under the Pre-translation tab.
When a file is in pre-translation, the localization process will occur wherein a translatable source file is created and uploaded. Once the translatable source file is uploaded, a new document is created under the Documents tab and the file that is associated with it in the Pre-translation tab will be attached as a reference file, and then the document will go through your regular translation process.
