In this section you can find your source files as well as the reference materials that have been provided for your job.

You can also include attachments (invoice, external documents) to support your work.

Working offline

To continue your work offline, you will need to configure an export with the relevant information for your task. Then, you will be able to import the file again and all the information will be loaded in the Editor.

Other Export options

Export (left-hand side of the window)

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).

Some file formats may give you the possibility to change the way the information is displayed in the document. Open 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 layouting at all. Warning Never modify the structure of the file once it has been exported. Any modifications in the structure of the file will cause errors when importing the project back to the editor.

Export (right-hand side of the window)  

Here you can fully customize your export template according to your needs. Just select which fields you want to include in your export (they will all appear on the left hand side of the window).

• In the Settings area you will be able to name your file and set some relevant information about formatting.

• The languages of the project will be displayed, not only your working languages but other possible target languages of the project.

• Finally, you can include general information about the segments thanks to the Segment area (which is usually displayed in the first column).
  

You are now ready to start your work out of the CAT Editor! You will find all relevant information about how to fill any specific fields of your file under the page <WORKING Outside the CAT Editor>.

Import

Open

If your Project Manager has set you specific rights to work offline, you will be able to upload a file and send it to complete your assignment.

Either way, once you have submitted your file, you will need to go back to your job dashboard and set the job as complete.

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

Open

Once the system has processed the files, a report with the changes will be generated. You may want to keep that information for later use.

If not, you can just go on and accept the changes. The editor will be loaded with your offline work.

Reminder

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.
