Adding Files to Projects

In many cases, you can add additional files to a project after the project has been created. This lets you make changes to your Lingo project at any time without needing to create a new project. It also prevents you from having to send multiple projects to a translator or a reviewer.

You can add files to any project created from other individual files, such as Word documents or XML files. You can also add files to any project created from folders.

How to Add Project Files

  1. In the local toolbar of the File List window pane, click . The Add Project Files Wizard opens.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the dialog that opens, select the file(s) you want to add to the Lingo project. Click Open.
  4. (Optional) If you need to remove a file, select it in the wizard and click Remove.
  5. (Optional) If you are adding Word, XML, or text files to your project, you can create a file type filter to import only certain parts of the file. See File Type Filters.
  6. When you are done adding files, click Finish. The files are added to the project.

Note If you are translating a Flare project file, Mimic project file, Doc-To-Help project file, or a DITA map, you cannot add individual files to the Lingo project after it has been created.

Note Update Project is disabled if you created a project in either of the following ways: 

  1. From individual folders and individual files
  2. From individual folders, and later you added additional files using the Add Project Files Wizard
