      Only to update a bilingual file: upload the original .sdlxliff (or its package) above and the review spreadsheet you edited here. You get the updated .sdlxliff back.

      Options

      Formatting and placeholders become TMX tags and <1>…</1> placeholders in spreadsheets. The SDLXLIFF review spreadsheet always keeps tags so it can be imported back.

      Only used when updating an SDLXLIFF from an edited spreadsheet: the confirmation status given to segments whose translation changed.

      Your files are deleted after processing.

      A .sdlppx file is a Trados Studio project package: the files to translate as .sdlxliff, often with translation memories, termbases and analysis reports, all in one archive. Its counterpart, the return package .sdlrpx, carries the translated files back. If an agency sends you one and you don't use Trados, or you only want to see what's inside, upload it here.

      How to open an SDLPPX package

      1. Upload the .sdlppx or .sdlrpx exactly as you received it.
      2. Read the package overview: whether it is a project or a return package, who created it and when, source and target languages, the files to translate, the memories and termbases it uses, and the package comment if there is one. A table lists every file with its type and size.
      3. Download what you need from the list of results.

      What you get from a package

      • Package contents (ZIP): every file unpacked with its folder structure, including the original source documents and the Reports folder.
      • A review spreadsheet per target language: all .sdlxliff files for that language in one workbook, with status, match type, source and target. The copies of the source-language files that Studio puts into packages are skipped.
      • TMX of the translated segments per language, when there are any; a fresh project package often has none.
      • Every memory as TMX, Excel and CSV, and every termbase as TBX, Excel and CSV, the same as uploading the .sdltm or .sdltb files on their own.

      If the package has no .sdlproj project file, there is no overview, but the files inside are still converted and a warning says the project file was missing.

      Sending translations back

      You can translate or correct the target column in a review spreadsheet and turn it into updated bilingual files: upload the package again and add the edited workbook as the edited review spreadsheet (under More inputs). The changed .sdlxliff files come back in folders per language. They are not repackaged as a new .sdlrpx, so send them to the project manager as files; the SDLXLIFF review page explains the tag and status rules.

      Tips

      • Renaming a package to .zip also opens it, but leaves you with .sdlxliff, .sdltm and .sdltb files that need Trados; here they are converted in the same step.
      • Several packages can go in one upload, such as all return packages of a project.
