STPM keeps track of paragraphs that might be affected by changes made in the Project
(such as the modification of a source document or the changing of an alternative meaning
choice).
Translations you perform via STPM are independent of any other computer activity, and thus
you retain full use of your PC while they are taking place. Also, as translation results are
loaded incrementally, you can begin working on finished files while others are still in progress.
The Proce ssing Status dialog displays any time you select a translation command in STPM.
The files of an STPM Project are not actual source and target document files, but are instead
non-WYSIWYG simplified mirrored versions of those files. This attribute frees you from
outlying document-related concerns (such as file formats), and enables you to instead focus
your concentration on your translations. Then, once work is completed on your Project files
you transform them back to their native file format at the Export stage. Also, as all actions
taken on files within STPM are separate from the original source files, these original files
remain intact.
Working with Projects
STPM projects are characterized by their indicated language pair, their related document files
(source, target), and by a number of STPM-specific elements. A Project can be just a single
file, or it can comprise a large collection of files containing multiple elements. In addition, any
accessible supported file can be included in a STPM Project, as can Web documents
obtained via an input Web address (URL).
As you work with Project files, you can run translations and perform a wide range of post-
translation functions designed to improve translation quality.
Selecting a Profile
You can configure numerous collections of translation options – or profiles – for use
throughout your SYSTRAN installation. These profiles can be used interchangeably, Project-
to-Project, document-to-document, and you can edit, save, export, and import them as
desired.
Select a profile to use with STPM from the Profile dropdown in either the Translate menu or
the Translate Toolbar.
