The connector creates new projects for every translation job (which may contain several XMLs) using a project template.

Therefore, pleases click on Load available projects templates and workflows to fetch all available configuration data.

3.2. Languages

RWS uses its own language codes whereas FirstSpirit uses language abbreviations.

The project created here will be made available to translationstudio’s language mappings.

Make sure your project template accepts your source and target languages as well as the XML file format.

4. Information about how the connector works

The connector creates projects in RWS Trados Enterprise and checks if a project’s status has been changed to "completed" or "archived". If so, the respective files are downloaded automatically and the project will also be renamed to indicate that translationstudio has downloaded all files successfully.
