A translation project (also referred to simply as a project) consists of one or more (source) file(s) to be translated into one or more target language(s). A source file added to a translation project can be of any type (format) as long there is a file converter available in the system supporting reading and writing the file.
The administration data of a project is saved in a file (the project file) with the file extension ".rwtproject." The format of the project file is that of Windows INI files.
There are two different types of storage that can be used to save translation data (files, target text/target data):
Projects are added to (collected in) the Projects view. If a workspace (workspace item) exists in the Projects view then a project can be assigned to that workspace. |
