Import a localized map or topic

After the translation team has sent back the translated files, you must import them back into IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop.

The localized files must be located on your hard drive and unzipped.

To save additional work, import your localized images first.

When you import images, they are automatically given the status Localization:review (or its equivalent in your workflow. If you import the localized maps or topics after, CCMS Desktop automatically sets the status of these files to Localization:review/Localization:translated (or its equivalent).

If you import the maps and topics first, CCMS Desktop keeps those that reference images at the Localization:in translation status (or its equivalent in your workflow). You will have to change all the statuses manually.

To import the topics and maps:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • On the Localization toolbar, click the Import Localized Content button ().
    • From the menu bar, select IXIASOFT CCMS > Import Localized Content.
    The Import Localization Package dialog appears.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To import all the files in a folder:
      1. Click the Add Folder button.
      2. Navigate to the folder that contains the localized files.
      3. Select the folder to import.
      4. Click OK.
    • To import one or more localized files:
      1. Click the Set Files button.
      2. Navigate to the localized files.
      3. In the Open dialog, select the type of files to import (for example, XLIFF document, XML document, etc.).
      4. Select the files to import.
      5. Click Open.
    Tip: You can configure a default folder that the Import Localization Package dialog opens automatically.

    The Import Localization Package dialog is displayed, listing the localized files.

  3. Click Import.

The files are imported into CCMS Desktop and given the status Localization:review (or its equivalent in your workflow).

You can now review the localized files and complete the localization process by either approving them or returning them to localization.
