Creating a project

To create a new project, choose which space you wish to create a project in and click View space. Click Create A Project and start entering the following details.

Source language: language to be translated from

Target language: language to be translated in

1. Enter the name of the project at the top of the screen.

2. Enter the source language of the translatable file you wish to upload.

3. Check the box for the target language you wish to translate the file into. The languages you select will show up in the right column.

4. Click Next. Click Browse to upload a file. You can also drag and drop the file. Find the complete list of supported file types here.
