How to Export AutoText Entries

This topic describes how AutoText entries can be exported to an *.autotxt file. Exporting the entries allows you to share the list with someone else who is using the AutoSuggest feature in SDL Trados Studio. They can import the file into their SDL Trados Studio version.
 

To export AutoText entries:

  1. Select Tools > Options from the menu bar. The Options dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select AutoSuggest > AutoText from the navigation tree. The AutoText settings are displayed on the right.

  3. Select the language whose AutoText entries you want to export from the Target Language drop-down list. This is the target language you are translating into.

  4. Click Export. The Export AutoText dialog box is displayed.

  5. Browse to the location where you want to save the exported *.autotxt file.

  6. Enter a name for the new *.autotxt file in the File name box and click Save.

The new *.autotxt file is now created and can be sent to other users of SDL Trados Studio to import for use with AutoSuggest.
