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 installations without requiring a manual setup of the project on the receiving Wordfast Pro.

To export a project package (GLP):

  1. On the Projects tab, select the project.

    The Files and TXLF File Location columns can be ordered by typing the first letter or two of the item to head the list then clicking or to the far right. These columns can be searched by typing in a string of characters that are contained in the entry of interest. When a matching, unique string is found in an entry, only that entry is presented in the list. To restore the list, click the Clear Filters icon .

  2. Click Export Package.

    The Export Package dialog box appears.

  3. Select export type:

    • Entire Project

    • Specific target languages and resources selectively, including:

      • Source Files

      • TXLF Files

      • Glossaries

      • Translation Memories

      • Reference Files

      • Blacklists

  4. Select a naming convention.

    • GLP Name to have the export process name the file

    • Custom Name to specify the name to be used

  5. Select a location to receive the GLP file.
  6. Click Export.

    The exported GLP is built and saved to the selected folder. This GLP file can now be passed on to a different Wordfast Pro installation.
