Projects without a workspace
Most projects use workspaces on the Rigi server to manage all files. However, in some cases, a workspace is not used, and the parsing is not performed on the Rigi server.
To set up a project without a workspace, in the system menu, select Server settings > Project defaults and switch off the Manage files in workspace toggle.

Use case | Description | Source texts | Translations |
---|---|---|---|
The Rigi add-in for Passolo includes the parser framework. All files are parsed in Passolo. Target files and files with Rigi tokens are generated in Passolo. | Source texts are uploaded from Passolo (Project > Export > Rigi server) and used for coverage information during the capturing of HTML previews. | Translations are uploaded from Passolo (Project > Export > Rigi server) and used to perform language tests (LAT). | |
Language tests (LAT) | The Rigi server contains HTML previews, source texts and translations. Language testers (reviewers) can see HTML previews with the translations and add comments and suggestions. | Use the Rigi Translation Uploader tool to upload source texts and translations. | |
Screenshots for documentation | Generate localized screenshots for documentation for a selected set of languages. |
There are several ways to import source texts and translations into the string lists on the Rigi server:
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Passolo | Source texts, translations (and their status) can be uploaded to the Rigi server. For details, see the Rigi for SDL Passolo section. |
Trados Studio | If translators have appropriate permissions, they can upload translations (including their status) directly from Trados Studio's translation editor. |
Rigi translation uploader tool | This tool uses rigi.exe to parse source and target files. Then it uploads source texts and translations to the Rigi server. |
rigi.exe | Rigi.exe can parse files and upload source texts and translations, including their status. |
Export/Import XLIFF | Export source texts and/or translations (Texts > Overview > Export). The resulting XLIFF can be imported into another project. |
Clone | Project owners can clone their projects, including all source texts and translations. For details, see the Clone a project guide. |
