To apply PerfectMatch you need to pair the previously translated bilingual files with the new project files. You can select the following bilingual file types:
Tradostag (TTX) files from SDL Trados 2007
SDL Edit (ITD) files from SDLX 2007
SDL XLIFF files from SDL Trados Studio
There are several different methods for pairing the previous files with the new project files. What method you use depends on if the files names in the new project match the previously translated bilingual file names.
If the files in your new project have the same file names and path location within the project as the files in the previous project, you can select files using the following methods. This ensures that the bilingual files are automatically paired with the new project files.
Base your project on a previous project
Automatically search a folder for bilingual files
|
NOTE |
If you choose to select your bilingual files by automatically searching a folder, it will only use the first type of bilingual file that it matches to the first project file in the list for all of the project files. For the first project file it searches in this order: SDL XLIFF, TradosTag TTX and then SDL Edit ITD. For example, if there is a matching SDL XLIFF file for the first project file, it will only look for matching SDL XLIFF files for the remaining project files. |
If the file names in your new project are different to the file names in the previous project, select the files using the following methods to pair the bilingual files with the new project files.
Manually add previous bilingual files
Add files using a bilingual map file
Reuse Previously Translated Files for PerfectMatch
