Apply Field Values |
If the translation memory you are importing into has custom fields, you can specify what values should be placed in these fields for the imported translation units. Click Edit to display the Field Values dialog box. For each field, specify or select a value and click OK. |
||
Import translation units as plain text |
When this option is selected, all formatting in the import file is ignored and the translation unit content is imported as plain text. This may be useful if you are importing translation units from an application that handles tags differently to SDL Trados Studio as the imported tag information would not display correctly in SDL Trados Studio. |
||
Exclude language variants |
When this option is selected, translation units for variants of the selected source and target language will not be imported. For example if you are importing into an English (United Kingdom) / German (Germany) translation memory and you select this option, any English (United States) / German (Germany) translation units in the import file will not be imported. |
||
Overwrite existing translation units |
When this option is selected, translation units that have the same source text as an imported translation unit are replaced with the imported translation unit. This means that only the translated portion of the translation unit is replaced and therefore this prevents there being duplicate translations for the same source segment. |
||
Export invalid translation units |
When this option is selected, translation units that do not match the selections you have made on this page are not imported; they are saved to a *.tmx file. The TMX file can be imported later if you want.
Click Browse to specify a location and name for the file. |
Click Finish to go to the Importing page of the Import wizard and to start the import.
