6.7.2.6 Optimizing the Translation Process
If you have projects where the structure and text are similar to a previous project, you can optimize
the translation process.
In particular, the following procedure is recommended for projects that were created by copying
and then modifying.
Prerequisite
There must be an existing translated export target.
Procedure
1. Copy the export files into the project folder for the new project to be translated.
2. Open the new project and export the text (menu command Options > Manage Multilingual
Texts > Export). Since the export target already exists, you will be asked whether the export
target should be extended or overwritten.
3. Click on the Add button.
4. Have the export files translated (only new text needs to be translated).
5. Then import the translated files.
