Multiple files can be combined and viewed as one file using Chain Files. For example, if you are translating ten files with ten segments each, these files can be chained into one file of 100 segments.
To chain files into one file:
On the Project Files tab, select the files to be chained.
Click Chain Files.
The chained file opens in the Translation tab with a default name "Chained Files 1". In the ID column, the segments from each file are sequentially numbered and highlighted in a unique background color.
Click in any segment.
The file name changes from the default name to the name of the source file.
Translate and review the segments until segment ID 1 appears again and the background color changes indicating a different source file.
Press Ctrl+S or click Save on the File tab to save the chained file.
When the chained file is saved, the segments are restored to their original files and the chained format is not retained.
Note:
Chained files can only be opened in the TXLF Editor. You can open and work on multiple sets of chained files. Chained files cannot be exported and saved as a single file.
