Import

To successfully import your project, you need to recover your previously exported file (filled with all the work you have performed offline).

Once you click on import, a  popup window will appear allowing you to browse or drag and drop your desired file. Remember to select a valid file in order to avoid problems.

Once the system has processed the files, a report with the changes will be generated. You may want to keep that information for latter use. If not, you can just go on and accept the changes.

The editor will be loaded with your offline work.

Set document as deliverable

A popup window will allow you to submit the work available in the CAT Editor to your Project Manager. Alternatively, if your task required external work and your Project Manager has set you specific rights, you will be able to upload a file and send it to complete your assignment.

In this area you will be performing your active work as a translator/reviser.

When the documents are imported into the CAT editor, the source text is automatically divided into segments according to the text segmentation rules of your project (to know more about how to set them, go to the Segmentation (SRX) Rules page).

The header of the editor working space

The top part of the working space conforms the header, which gives access to the statistics panel Image Modified (top left corner) and the column properties Image Modified(top right corner).

This area also contains the headers of each column, where the titles gives information about the nature of the content of the rows below.

Right below the Image Modifiedicon, we can find the column containing segment references (Column Zero) which may display additional meta information (we will see the details in the segment view).

The columns

Image Modified

In the editor, the segments will always be displayed in columns, which you can hide or display to your own needs. 

Column (re)order:

 Next to the statistics icon and by default, you will have the following column sequence:

• the first column to be displayed will be the source text, which is marked with a dot.

Then other columns will follow:

• The second column will usually be the target text you will be working on and
• other additional columns may be loaded, depending on your predefined layout. For instance:
  
  • other existing target languages (translation layout) or
  • the revisions column (revisions layout).

Column management

Always keep in mind that you can decide:

• which columns you want to have directly available or
• reorganize the columns to suit your needs and move them right or left.

You can do this in several ways:
