File List Window Pane

The File List window pane lets you view all of the content files in your project. You can limit the files that are displayed by using the file type filter (e.g., click the Filter drop-down and select Snippet Files).

If you want to see a comprehensive list of the files in the project that should be translated, you can select the "All Files" option from the drop-down list. This is the recommended selection for translation work.

When you want to translate a particular file, you can double-click it in the File List window pane to open it.

In addition, if you are creating a bundle or review package, you can hold down your SHIFT or CTRL key and select specific files to be included. See Preparing Translation Bundles and Sending Translated Content for Review.

Buttons and Sections

	Hides or shows special information pertaining to the editor or window pane.
	Lets you select the target language to use for translations.
	Opens the selected item.
	Opens the Properties dialog for the selected item.
	Lets you add additional files to a translation project after the project has been created. You can add additional files to any project created from other individual files, such as individual Word documents or XML files. See Adding Files to Projects.
	Lets you create a translation bundle. If you are working with a translator who is using a third-party tool—such as Trados or memoQ—you first need to "package" your Lingo project in order to separate the necessary files for the translator. You can then send the "bundle" (which is a ZIP file) to the translator. This ZIP file consists of the content files requiring translation. See Preparing Translation Bundles.
	After the translator returns the completed ZIP file, you can use this button to merge its contents into your original Lingo project. See Merging Completed Bundles.
	Lets you show or hide the small squares next to each folder and file, which are used to show colors representing condition tags that have been applied. Hiding condition tags can greatly speed the population of the window pane.
	Toggles between showing or hiding the folder structure.
	Lets you replace the selected image with another image. You might use this button, for example, if you have used a different application to translate the callout in an image file. You can select the image file you want to replace, click this button, and find the new image file on your computer to replace it. If you select a file with a different name, the name will be changed when it is added to the project so that it matches the old file name.
	Lets you limit the files that are displayed by file format. All Files Displays all translatable files. Topic Files Displays only the topic (HTM and HTML) files. Page Layout Files Displays only the page layout (FLPGL) files. Snippet Files Displays only the snippet (FLSNP) files. Stylesheet Files Displays only the stylesheet (CSS) files. Template Page Files Displays only the template page (FLMSP) files. Image Files Displays only the image files.
	Displays the color of condition tags that are associated with the file (if any). Condition tags are used to determine specific content or files to be included in some targets but not in others.
Name	Displays the file name for the item. This is displayed in grid view only, not in folder structure view.
Type	Displays the type of file (e.g., topic, target, variable set). This is displayed in grid view only, not in folder structure view.
# Segments	Displays the number of text segments in the file. This is displayed in grid view only, not in folder structure view.
Status	Displays the translated status of the file (e.g., In Progress, Completed, Reviewed). You can change the status for a file manually to help you keep track of your work. To do this, select the file in the list, click the Properties button in the local toolbar, and select the status on the Translation tab of the dialog. This is displayed in grid view only, not in folder structure view. Note If you are working with a multilingual project, you can change the active target language in the Project Properties dialog (File > Project Properties). This will change the language of the files shown in the File List window pane. The translation status displayed in the File List is shown for the active target language (for example, a file might be translated in Spanish, untranslated in French, and already sent for review in German).
Difference	Indicates the status of the files after a project update. If the file in the new version is not the same as the previous version, the difference status is reflected in this cell. This is displayed in grid view only, not in folder structure view.
Title	Displays the title for the topic. This is displayed in grid view only, not in folder structure view.
