Chain Files

To combine multiple files and view them as a single file, use Chain Files. For example, if you are translating or reviewing ten files with ten segments each, you can temporarily chain them into a single file of 100 segments.

Alert:

You cannot export or save chained files as a single TXLF file. Refer to Bilingual Export to download the chained files as a single document.

Note:

You can open and work on a single chained file or multiple sets of chained files in the TXLF Editor view. Each chained file displays on its own tab.

To chain files:

On the Project Files tab, select a set of files, then click Chain Files.

The chained file opens in the Translation tab with a default file name of Chained Files 1. Each file in the chain starts with a segment ID of 1 and ends with a file divider. Each segment in the file retains a sequential number located in the ID column and also retains a distinct background color.
Click in a segment.
The file name changes from the chained name to the source file name of the active segment.
Translate, review, or edit each segment.
Click Save on the File tab to save the chained file.
The software saves the segments in the chained file. It then restores the segments to their original files and does not retain the chained format.
