What should I do if the source material has been updated or upgraded?

Say you are translating a game. Then in the middle of the translation process, the game developer updates the game. You want to make a translation using the latest edition of the game, and you obviously don’t want to start over from the scratch, what do you need to do? How can Translator ++ help you?

Basically, you can use the “Import project” feature to import your ongoing translation into the new project.

First of all, create a new project using the latest version of the game.

Depending on the engine, the “Project is Exist” dialog may or may not appear.
When the “Project is exist” dialog appears, select “Create new project”.

Click “Create new project” when this window appear.

Then in the “Import project” menu select “Import translation from another .trans file“. Select the .trans file from your ongoing translation.
