New Project Wizard > Project Files

Use the Project Files page of the New Project Wizard to specify project details.

When you add files to your project, the New Project wizard attempts to identify the file type, usage and filter settings for each file and these are displayed in the Type, Usage and File Type Identifier columns. The New Project wizard automatically adds a filter settings file to relevant files once it has identified the file type. These settings can be modified as needed.

To display this page, click Next on the Project Languages page of the New Project wizard.

 

Box/Column/Button

Description

Navigation pane

Contains the structure for the project files.  You can add files individually or you can add a folder structure. All of the files in the folder structure are added to the project.

The New Project wizard creates a folder for every target language you have selected and places the prepared SDLXLIFF files and any reference files in the appropriate language folder. If you selected files in a folder structure, this structure will be replicated in the target language folders.

If the project files are not currently in a folder structure, you can create a folder structure manually on this page and add the files to it.

NOTE

Files cannot just be moved once they have been added to a folder.

If you do need to move files, remove them from their folder and add them into the correct folder
