I have received a project package...

Hello. I have recently received a project package (I have never worked wit bthose before). It contains one .xls file. I was asked to translate and sedn the package back. Does a package like this already contain a TM that belongs to it?How do I update it? Does it update while I save the translated file or do I have to click on "update project memories"? If I create a return package, is the updated TM automatically sent back within the package?

After I opened the file in editor it shows: Project 12345_excel_TM_IT_EN. Does that mean the TM is included and updated while working with it?

I am sorry, I am confused. I usually get a file, log on to trados, create a project, add the file, create TM, etc. This is new for me and I don` t want to blow it.

Thanks so much!!

  • Dear Marunka,

    If you received a package to translate with Studio, you just have to unpack it, translate the file, create a package again and send it back to your client/customer/person who requested it.

    If there was already a TM in the package, you will be able to use it and update it while translating. If there was no TM in the package, you will just have to create one and it will be part of the package when you will create it.

    BR,

    Please not that a return package does not contain any TM. You are right when you say that the person receiving the package should use (create) his own TM, but that will be his own TM (normally always the same for all jobs) he updates, it will not be part of the package at all.
