Download files to translate

Download files to translate

This may be used either as the full setup for a project or as a way to download files and pass them to the translator directly, for a punctual workaround of any kind, like a TMS availability or a network glitch.

If this method of passing files to be translated is used, then it's likely the Upload translated files will be used once the files for that prep kit have been translated into a locale.

Downloading or uploading are not TMS or MT configuration. They function at the project level. Another TMS or MT configuration must be set.

Download as a workaround

If, for any reason, a user wants to download the files previously sent to the project's translation system -FTP, or a TMS, or an MT, or an LLM - then click the 'Download files to be translated' button. The files sent prior may still be handled in the configured TMS, etc.

Pick the prep kit number and the target locale, then click the 'Download' button. A zip file will be downloaded with the files previously sent to the configured translation system.

Download as the main method

In the case files will not be sent to an FTP, a TMS, an MT, or an LLM, first create a Local TMS. The files are not sent anywhere, they are prepared on disk where Command Center is hosted. Once a prep kit has been 'sent' to the local file system, they can be downloaded.

Here files can only be uploaded by hand using Upload translated files.
