If you want to carry on your work offline, you will need to use specific templates to be able to easily import and export the segments to the online editor. Translators are able to work offline or in another CAT Tool thanks to the Export option which allows you to download your job as Word, Excel or XLIFF file. Once the translation is completed, all is left to do is import the file back so that your translation memory is up-to-date and the project manager is notified of the job completion.

Note that other people may be working in the document too, so whenever you are ready to import your segments, some changes may have happen in between. To be able to clearly differentiate the scope of your job, use the appropriate settings for your workflow. Learn more about job scope possibilities and crowdsourcing work in the specific sections of the documentation. |
