Import Package Files

Package files allow different Wordfast Pro (WFP) users to share files. Imports consist of package files exported by another WFP user. When you import a package file, you automatically connect the files to translation memories and glossaries and gain access to all the translatable files and additional resources. This eliminates the need for a manual project set up.

To import package files:

  1. On the Projects tab, click Import Package.
      best-practice:

    For ease of use, you can instead drag-and-drop to move a package file into the window's white space.

  2. In the resulting Import Package dialog, click Browse to locate and select the package file.
  3. Choose either to update the active project by clicking Update A Current Project and its options or choose to create a new project by clicking Create New Project and its options.
  4. (Optional) Select Open project after importing to open the updated or new project when the import completes.
  5. Click Import.

    The import completes.

      Note:

    If you did not deselect Open project after importing, the current project view opens and displays files for translation.
