Packages contain files that you need translate or review, or files that have been translated and reviewed. You must first open the package in Studio to update Studio with the updated files or to access the files for translation or review.
Opening a project packages enables you to receive all files for translation or review, and all related files. Once you have opened a package in SDL Trados Studio, the files, translation memories, termbases and AutoSuggest dictionaries included in the package are immediately available to be used. When you receive a project package from your project manager, save the package to a suitable location.
Opening a return package enables you to receive files that have been translated or reviewed. Once you open the package the associated information is updated in SDL Trados Studio. The manual task will be shown to be complete and the status of the document is updated to Translated or Reviewed depending on what manual task has been completed.
Project packages and return packages are opened using the Open Package wizard. You can launch this wizard from any view in SDL Trados Studio by selecting Project > Open Package from the menu bar or by clicking Open Package on the Standard toolbar.
In addition to being able to open an SDL Trados Studio project package or return package, you can open project packages created from enterprise applications (TMS, WorldServer and TeamWorks). See Supported Package Formats for more information.
When you open a WorldServer project package in Studio that contains any files processed by a legacy filter in WorldServer, you are asked whether you want to view these files as one merged SDL XLIFF file in Studio. This mimics the behavior that WorldServer users may be familiar with from the legacy WorldServer Desktop Workbench tool. When you create the return package to send the completed work back to WorldServer, the merged SDL XLIFF file is converted back to the format and merged state that was contained in the original project package.
If a WorldServer package also contains SDL XLIFF files, those files are not merged together and are imported into Studio as individual files.
