Project Management:  Upload Documents and TMs

Upload Documents

Project/Job Info

The box at the top of many pages has details about the TM enhancement project/job(s). On this page it displays the project name and type of Enhancer Advanced project.

Advanced Common Project – The 1 document (source) language selected is also included.

Advanced Mixed Project – You select the 1 or more document (source) language(s) for a Mixed project on this page when you upload the document(s). They are first included on the “Jobs To Be Run” page and then thereafter.

Supported Language Pairs

NoBabel Enhancer supports all English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish (EFIGS) bidirectional language pairs.

Also it supports in both directions English paired with:

  • Dutch
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Arabic
  • Chinese
  • Japanese
  • Korean

All documents in a zip file must be in only 1 of the supported languages.

Document (Source) Language

The NoBabel system automatically determines the source and target languages of uploaded TM Files. The language of the Uploaded Document(s) to be translated and the source language of the TM(s) you want enhanced for use in the translation must be the same language.

Advanced Common Project – A Common project can have only 1 document (source) language. Select it from the supported languages listed in the dropdown menu. The document (source) language you select here should be the same supported language as the 1 source language you selected for this project when you created it, that is, unless you have subsequently changed that language. On the “Project Management” page you can change a Common project’s source (document) language by selecting in the “Source Language” box a different language from the dropdown menu.

Advanced Mixed Project – For a Mixed project there is no “Source Language” box on the “Project Management” page because its 1 or more source (document) language(s) are selected here on the “Upload Documents” page. As you upload each Document File, you select from the list of supported languages in the dropdown menu the language of the document(s) in the file.

Supported File Formats

The Document File formats that the Enhancer supports are:

  • .doc
  • .docx
  • .htm
  • .html
  • .inx
  • .ppt
  • .pptx
  • .qsc
  • .rtf
  • .tag
  • .ttg
  • .ttx
  • .txml
  • .xlf
  • .xls
  • .xlsx
  • .xml
  • .xtg
  • .zip

Zip files can contain documents in 1 or more of the supported formats.

Upload Document File

Password Protected Files cannot be processed.

The Document File cannot be more than 50 megabytes. To upload larger Document Files separate them into smaller ones, each no more than 50 megabytes.

To upload a Document File begin by clicking the "Browse" button and a "Choose File" popup window will appear. Then search for and select the Document File you wish to upload. Click "Open" or double click on the selected Document File, either of which will input the File and close the popup window.

To finish uploading the Document File and return to the “Project Management” page click "Upload Documents".

Uploading a Document Zip File

You may include many documents in 1 or more of the supported formats in 1 zip file.

Grouping documents in 1 common language into a zip file can help reduce the complexity of managing your projects.

Advanced Common and Mixed Projects – All documents in a zip file must be in only 1 of the supported languages, which must also be the source language of the TM(s) you want enhanced for use in translating the document(s) in the zip file.

Advanced Mixed Project – Different zip files can have documents in different supported languages, as long as the documents in any 1 zip file are all in the same supported language.

If "Keep Zip File Grouped Together" is chosen, NoBabel will translate all the files in a batch process; it will treat all the files in the uploaded zip file as if they were 1 document for the purposes of pre-translation against the selected uploaded TMs. This will create 1 Enhancer TM.

If "Unzip Zip File" is chosen, NoBabel will unzip the file and you can select individual document files for translation. NoBabel will pre-translate the selected individual documents against the selected uploaded TMs. This will create a separate Enhancer TM for each selected document.

To finish uploading a Document Zip File and return to the “Project Management” page click “Upload Documents”.

When you are returned to the “Project Management” page the “Select, Review and Submit Job Documents and TMs” section as well as the “Upload Project Documents and TMs” section will be open.

While the uploading of your Document File is being completed a progress bar is displayed.

Once this task is finished your project will proceed automatically back to the Project Management “Upload Project Documents and TMs” section. The “Select, Review and Submit Job Documents and TMs” section will also be open.

If no problems were encountered during the uploading process a message stating that the Document File has been uploaded successfully will be shown in the “Upload Project Documents and TMs” section. If any problem is encountered a message stating what the problem is will be shown..

  • In the Project Management “Upload Project Documents and TMs” section, click the “Upload Documents” button and repeat the foregoing.
  • On the “Upload TMs” page click on the “Upload Documents” button at the bottom of the page.
  • From other sections of the “Project Management” page you must first click on the “Upload Project Documents and TMs” blue bar.
  • From any other page of the project, you must first return to the “Project Management” page and then repeat the foregoing.

Please note that you can upload documents for an Advanced project at different times, including after previously uploading documents and/or TMs, and, even after running jobs.

When you are done for now uploading documents, on the “Project Management” page or on the “Upload Documents” page, to upload TMs click the “Upload TMs” button.

Or, if you have previously uploaded the TM(s) you want, you can proceed to the Project Management “Select, Review and Submit Job Documents and TMs” section.

Or you can leave your project and come back to it later.

If you leave your project, when you want to return to it, in the Side Menu under “Enhancer” click on “Project List”. A table with a list of your available Enhancer projects will then be displayed and, in that list, click on the “Open” button for this project.

To proceed with your project, when you have finished uploading the document(s) and TM(s) you need for the current job(s), in the Project Management “Select, Review and Submit Job Documents and TMs” section, select the available document(s) and related TM(s) you want run.
