Open and Translate File

After you open a project, you can access the files that comprise the project from the Project Files tab. If the project contains multiple files, you can chain the files together into one contiguous file. Refer to Chain Files.

  Alert:

For users who interact with Captive TransStudio, this process is different. For more information, review the most recent Captive TransStudio Quick Reference Guide.

  2. On the Translation tab, copy all tags in the Source segment to the Target segment.
  3. Select a Target segment and enter the translation.
  4. Click Next Segment or press Alt+Down to update the TM and move down one Target segment.
      Best Practice:

    Save your work often by pressing Ctrl+S or clicking Save on the File tab. Refer to Save a File.
