Hi,

I've received a Zip.file with 20+ xliff files (and their related .doc) and I have to create a project in Trados 2017. How could I open a project including all of these files? I've been working with Trados since 2014 but I always use the Translation single document option or I receive a package. Could you give me a hand on this?

Thank you. Anne.

In Trados, go File > New > New Project. During the process of creating a new project, you will be prompted to add your source files. I believe you should add the XLIFF files, not the DOC files. The new project will then appear on your project list, and the project files will be saved somewhere logical.

To view all files at once, open the project by double-clicking it in the project list, then make sure "View subfolders" is ticked in the Files pane on the left, and then select all the files in the file list, right-click, and select "Open for Translation".

Added: when you say "XLIFF files", do you mean SDLXLIFF files?

Thank you, Samuel.

Yes they are SDLXLIFF files. You're instructions were useful and I've managed to do it. Thanks again. Anne.
