A GlobalLink Package (GLP) enables a project to be passed around in a coherent structure. The GLP comprises everything required to send a project to a team member permitting that member to work on the project. Using this option, projects can be transferred between Wordfast Pro installations without requiring a manual setup on the importing Wordfast Pro installation. A GLP can contain both complete and incomplete projects. GLPs can include:
Project files: Bilingual SDL XLIFF files and reference files
Local and remote project Translation Memory
Local and remote main Translation Memory references
Local and remote termbases references
Auto-Suggest dictionaries
Automated translation provider connection details
The Analyze and Word Count reports (generated during package creation)
Project settings
Note: GLP files do not include the project source files but they can be added as reference files when you create a the package on the Export Package dialog box under the Resources To Include In Export |
A completed package can be sent by email, posted on an FTP site, or some other method to make the project files available to another person.
