IV. Upload source files

When you have created the tasks for your project, you need to attach proper files to them. You can upload the same files for all language combinations or only for some of them. Also, you can upload single files in different formats or zip your files into one and attach this package to your task. To upload the source file(s) for a given task in your project, perform the following steps:

In the Project menu, select the task to which you want to upload files and click the icon to edit the task.
Go to the Workflow Graph tab.
In the Task Input box, Click the Add button. The Upload File pop-up window appears. Here you can:
1. In the Upload File tab, add a file from your local machine.
  1. Click the Add Files button.
  2. Locate and select the necessary files. They will be added to the list in the Upload file pop-up.
    You can also drag and drop files into the dashed area around the Add files… button.
    Note: You can upload files up to 1 GB.
  3. If you upload files in the .zip format, check the Unzip box to decompress archives automatically and display the included files separately.
  4. Select the file Category:
    - Work file - the file that will undergo the process defined in the task, e.g., the source text that will be translated.
    - TM (Translation Memory) file - a file that stores previously translated segments (e.g., phrases and sentences).
    - Terminology file - a file that contains a glossary of specified terminology to be used in the translation.
    - Reference file - a file that contains additional commentaries about the work file.
    - Log file - a file from a CAT tool that contains the results of the analysis of the work file with the translation memory.
  5. (Optional) Select the Directory where the files will be uploaded.
  6. Select to which Bundle this file belongs or leave the Select Automatically option. To learn more, see the Manage bundles guide.
  7. Click the Save button.
    For more upload options, check the Upload resources/source text expand below.
The Upload File pop-up window closes. You can see the uploaded files in the Task Input box.
