Exporting Packages

A GlobalLink Package (GLP) of project files comprises everything required for a project. Using the Export Package option, a complete project package can be shared with other Wordfast Pro users. A GLP file can be directly imported and opened in Wordfast Pro without requiring a manual project setup. If the GLP file originated from Project Director, then once the translation work is completed in Wordfast Pro, the GLP file can be exported and uploaded into Project Director. Refer to Using GLP Files for more information on GLP file contents.
