In this lesson, you will create a Language Set and assign languages to it.
A Language Set is a set of languages with a shared Translation Memory (TM).
Translations can be imported to a Language-Set TM using TMX or Excel-XML files, and completed translations can be automatically written to a Language Set at the end of a Job.
Create a new Language Set
- Select a folder in the Language Sets dialog (or create a new folder and select that).
- Click the + (plus) button in the Language Sets area.
- Name the new Language Set.
- Click Apply to create the Language Set.
- The new set will appear on the right of the Language Sets dialog.
NOTE: Clicking Save will close the Language Set Details window. To re-open the dialog, double-click the new Language Set.
Assign Languages to a Language Set
- Select the Languages tab in the Language Set Details dialog.
- You can filter the list of available languages by typing into the filter field.
- Drag and drop any required languages (multi-select and drag is possible) to the language list and choose their hyphenation settings.
- Click Save.
NOTE: It is vital to also add the source language to your Language Set. Otherwise, matches between the target languages and the source language cannot be created.
Viewing the contents of a Language Set
- The languages assigned to a Language Set are displayed when a set is selected.
- Click Open Set TM in the set's option menu to view its translation memory (TM).
NOTE: A brand new Language Set will not contain any translations. You must import your own content via TMX or Excel-XML files. You can also populate the TM by using the Commit Translations workflow action in your workflows.
