Importing Packages

Using the Import Package option, a GLP project file can be imported from another Wordfast Pro installation fully and not require any setup.

To import project files:

  1. Click Import Package (or drag and drop a GLP file).

    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 .

    The Import Package dialog box appears.

  2. Use Browse to locate and select the GLP file.

    The Import Package dialog box is populated with the selected file name and a drop-down list of available projects in the GLP.

  3. Select a GLP file.
  4. Click one of the following options:

    • Update A Current Project for an existing project and provide the project name, then select:

      • Only update existing project TXLF files

      • Update existing and add new files

    • Create New Project for a new project and provide a project name and location, then provide:

      • The new Project Name

      • The new project Location

  5. Optional: Select Open Project After Import to open the updated or new project when the import completes.
  6. Click Import.

    If Open Project After Import was checked, the current project view opens in the Project Files tab listing the TXLF files for translation.
