How to Update Studio with Bilingual Review Files from Word

If you sent your files for bilingual review using the Export for Bilingual Review batch task, you can import the content of the bilingual review documents back into Studio. This import updates the target segments in the *.sdlxliff project file with any edits, tracked changes, reviewed statuses and comments.  

NOTE

Translations in the *.sdlxliff project file are not updated with the new reviewed content if the segment has changed after you exported it for review, is locked or has a status of Signed off.

  1. In the Projects view, right-click on the project and select Batch Tasks > Update from Bilingual Review.

To quickly update the *.sdlxliff project file when you have the document open in the Editor view, use the commands from the File Actions group menu on the Review tab.

  1. On the Batch Tasks page of the Batch Processing wizard, click Next.

  2. On the Files page, select the project files that you want to update and click Next.

  3. On the Update from an Bilingual Review Document page, select the bilingual review documents (filename.review.docx) to use to update your project files:

  1. Under Update Options:

  1. Click Finish to update your project files with the content from the reviewed documents.

  2. When the task is completed, click Close to exit the Batch Processing wizard.

Your SDL XLIFF document has now been updated.

NOTE

If you accidentally overwrite any content in the *.sdlxliff file when you import the updates and you made a backup during the update, you can revert to the previous project file using the backup.

To do this, open the folder where your *.sdlxliff file is stored, delete the newly updated project file filename.sdlxliff and change the extension of the filename.backup file from .backup to .sdlxliff.

If you are working with a GroupShare project, you can revert to the backup made on GroupShare by downloading the specific version and then replacing the current file on GroupShare with that version.
