Context resources

What context resources do

Context resources turn project decisions and analyzed source structure into reusable guidance. They do not replace the source or target text; they help translators and translation tools make consistent decisions while working in the Editor.

• Style guide: project-wide or target-language-specific writing rules.
• Scenario: source structure, events, entities, and relationships discovered from selected files.
• Phrasebook: reusable sentence patterns and their variable slots.
• TM and TB: previously translated segments and approved terminology, managed as separate reference resources.

Choose the right resource

Record an explicit editorial rule in the style guide, an approved word in the termbase, and a reusable full-sentence structure in the phrasebook. Use Scenario when the guidance depends on where a line appears, who is involved, or how events and entities relate.

Recommended workflow

1. Upload and commit the source files that define the current project content.
2. Add stable writing rules to the style guide and review the project and language tabs.
3. Arrange source structure in Scenario, save it, and analyze only the files and categories you intend to process.
4. Run phrasebook analysis where repeated structures matter, then review splits and master bindings before relying on them.
5. Open the Editor and check the active language, file, status, and reference suggestions before committing translations.

Access, freshness, and limitations

The project menu and available actions follow your current project access. A read-only page lets you inspect context but disables changes and analysis. Missing menu items usually mean that the current project or your access does not expose that resource.

Check context before translation

Style guide

Check project-wide rules and the tab for the target language.

Scenario

Check which source files belong to Main Story, Events, Unclassified, or Excluded.

Phrasebook

Review repeated sentences, their split, and the master pattern selected for each segment.

1. In the project sidebar, open Context and review the resource cards available for the project.
2. Open Style guide and confirm the enabled rules for the target language.
3. Open Scenario and Phrasebook; wait for active analysis to finish and review the saved results.
4. Open the assigned file in the Editor and confirm the target language and visible reference suggestions.

After completion: You begin translation with the current saved rules, source arrangement, and reviewed phrase patterns visible in their respective screens.

Scenario checklist from Context

Main Story

The primary ordered flow. Drag source items here in the order translators should understand them.

Events

Named groups for side stories or related files. Add, rename, filter, or delete an event from its header.

Unclassified / Excluded

Unclassified items still need placement. Excluded items stay outside Scenario analysis until moved back.

Reset / Save

Reset reloads the last saved arrangement. Save records the current arrangement; unsaved dragging is not retained.

1. In the project sidebar, under Context, select Scenario and stay in the Scenario view.
2. Drag Unclassified items into Main Story or an Event; move items that should not be analyzed to Excluded.
3. Select Save and wait for the success message, then select Analyze.
4. Review the confirmation scope, start the run, and follow its visible task status until completion.
5. Open Entities and Mind Map, choose All or a narrower scope, and review names and relationship direction.

After completion: The saved arrangement remains after reload, and completed analysis results are available in Entities and Mind Map for the selected scope.

Carry context into the Editor

Contents

Filters the table to one or more content groups. Search, Select all, and Clear all change only the current view.

Target status

Shows whether a row is still a draft, committed for the next workflow step, approved, locked, or needs attention after a source change.

Reference and detail panels

Shows suggestions, issues, comments, metadata, spellcheck, or history for the focused row. A suggestion changes text only when you apply it.

Deliver

Opens the delivery flow when the file and your role allow it. It is separate from committing an individual row.

1. Open an assigned source file and confirm the file name, target language, and Contents selection in the header.
2. Focus an editable target cell, enter the translation, and apply any reference suggestion you intend to use.
3. Commit or confirm the row with the available row action, then read the updated target status.
4. Open History for the row if you need to verify the saved change; continue to the next visible row.

After completion: The target text and status remain after leaving and returning to the row, and the saved change appears in History when history is available.
