About Creating Return Packages

Return packages allow you to do the following:

  • Return translated or reviewed project files in one simple file.
  • Return reviewed files which need further work. For example, if a reviewer receives translated files in a package and they review the files and find that one of the translations is incorrect, then they can return that file to the translator in a return package to correct the translation.

You can only create return packages for files that were initially in a project package from another user.  

When you create a return package it only includes the project files and not the translation memory, termbases or AutoSuggest dictionaries. A return package contains files for which a manual task has been completed. For example, the files are translated or reviewed files. A return package can include some of the translated or reviewed files or all of the translated and reviewed files that were originally sent in the project package.

A return package can also contain files that need further work. For example, if a reviewer receives translated files in a package and they review the files and find that one of the translations is incorrect, then they can return that file to the translator in a return package to correct the translation.

NOTE

We recommend that you send the return package to the person that sent the original package. If you pass the package back to someone other than the original sender, it would require you to create a new package.  

Where to Create a Return Package

Return packages are created using the Create Return Package wizard.  You can launch the wizard from any view in SDL Trados Studio by selecting Project > Create Return Package from the menu bar. You can also select files that you want to include in the package in the Files view and right-click and select Create Return Package from the shortcut menu.

Returning Packages to an Enterprise Application

If you opened a project package from an enterprise application (TMS, WorldServer or TeamWorks) in SDL Trados Studio, when you create a return package it will automatically create it in a format that you can upload back to that application. See Supported Package Formats for more information.

If you create a package for WorldServer, files that were merged together to create SDL XLIFF files in Studio are converted back to the format and merged state that was contained in the original project package.
