Working offline

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.

By default, the system will always load the current view of your Editor. You can see these elements already loaded in the left side of the popup window.

There are also some preloaded export templates available (revisions report, offline translation and offline revision). They are a good way to get started if you are not yet sure which information you will need offline:

 

Some file formats may give you the possibility to change the way the information is displayed in the document. Image Modified Word and excel exports will allow you to organize contents vertically and horizontally. Just mark all the elements you want to include in your export and the way you want to display them. XLIFF export does not allow any DTP job.

Reminder Keep in mind that some of the categories only include existing information. This means that: if you want to be able to import comments to the system using the Excel and Word export options, you will need to include the field add comments, otherwise it won't be possible to retrieve that information during the import. if you are exporting the hits of your project's resources, they will all be displayed in a static way.

 You are now ready to start your work out of the CAT Editor!

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.

 You can always decide to download your report afterwards. The report of your last import will always be available for download in the Import popup window.
