This is the guide about Working with Packages on SDL Studio Trados 2019, that help you to use SDL Studio Trados 2019 easier.

Project package

A project package is a single zipped file that contains all of the files that need to be sent to a project team member in order for them to commence work on the project.

It can contain:

• Project files: Bilingual SDL XLIFF files and reference files
• The project translation memory
• File-based termbases, translation memories and AutoSuggest dictionaries
• Connection details for server-based translation memories, server-based termbases or automated translation providers
• Project settings

Return package

A return package contains project files for which a specific manual task has been completed. For example, project files that have been translated or reviewed. It can also contain files for which further work needs to be completed. For example, a reviewer may want to return a translated file because of an incorrect translation which the translator needs to fix.

When you create a return package it only includes the project files and not the translation memory, termbases or AutoSuggest dictionaries.

Recommended package use

There are two recommendations about how you work with packages in your workflow:

• Always create a package for every task you want to be
• Always create a return package for every task you have completed and send to the person who gave you the

For more information about recommended workflows, see “Offline project” on page 0 workflow.

Creating a package

Now that you have created your project, the next step is to create a project package. Then you can send it to a translator so that they can translate the files it contains and use the resources that you selected during project creation to assist the translation.

About this task

…Documents\Studio 2019\Translation Memories\Sample EN-DE.sdltm (This is the project you created in the last section.)

Procedure

1. Select the three files in this project in the Files view and right-click and select Create Project Package from the shortcut You can also select Create Project Package from on Home tab.

2. The Create Project Package wizard is displayed on the Select Files Select Next to include all three files in the package.

The Project Package Options page is displayed. On this page, specify where you want to save the project package and if you want to create one package or to split the files into multiple packages.

3. Leave the default selections on this page and select Next:

• The package is saved to by
• One project package is created containing all three

If your project has more than one language, you can choose to create a package for every project language and then send each package to the appropriate translator.

You can also further split a package by the number of words that have not yet been translated. This allows you to assign the work for one language pair to multiple translators.

The Review Project Packages page is displayed.

4. Assign the work of translating these files to a user:

• Select Users next to the Assign To
• Create a user called Tom Translator with a description of EN-DE
• Select Tom Translator from the Assign To drop-down list.

5. Since the files you are sending need to be translated, ensure that Translate is selected from the Task drop-down list. If you were sending files for review, you can select the Review task or any custom tasks that you want to create.

6. In the Comment box, enter the following instructions for Tom Translator: Please translate these files and then send them in a project package to Ralph Reviewer. When you receive the reviewed files in a return package, open the package in SDL Trados Studio and then create a new return package to send to me (project manager).

7. Select Next.

8. The Additional Options page is On this page, specify other resources to be included in the package:

• Project Translation Memory: Leave the default selection, Create a new file-based project translation memory for every package. The new project translation memory contains information only relevant to the files in the package.
  You might want to select this option if the contents of the package are small compared to the project itself. Including the entire project translation memory for a large project would create large packages.

• File-based Resources: Select the AutoSuggest dictionaries check box and Termbases check box to include these resources from the project in the
• Select Finish.

9. The Creating Packages page is On this page, the packages are created and you can choose to send the project packages by:

• Email to the appropriate team members by selecting Send Packages by Email.
• Another method such as placing it on an FTP Select Open Target Folder to open the folder where your return package is saved.

10. Select Close. Assume that the package has now been sent to the translator. When the translator opens the package, all of the resources included are automatically opened during translation.

Opening a return package

Assume that the translator (Tom Translator) has completed the translation and that the reviewer (Ralph Reviewer) has approved all of the translations. You receive a return package from Tom Translator containing the translated and reviewed project files.

Procedure

4. To open the return package:
5. Select Open Package on Home tab when you are in the Projects The Open Package wizard is displayed.
6. Select the return package and click Open. The Open Package wizard opens on the Review Package Contents

8. Select Finish to import the The Importing Package page is displayed.
9. When the import is complete, select Close.
