Set up a translation project
This guide describes how to perform an initial setup of a translation project.
Pre-requisites
The developers have set up the workspace (for details, see the Set up a workspace guides). The workspace contains:
Source files with target rules and parsers (for details, see the Configure target rules and Configure parser settings guides).
Target files.
The developers have approved the workspace for translation.
You have received an email notification about an approved workspace.
In this guide, the workspace contains one source file (en.json) and two files with Dutch and German translations (nl-NL.json and de-DE.json).

Open the required project.
In the project menu, select Texts > Overview. A message about available source texts is displayed.
When you hover over the
icon in the Texts or Overview sections, the following panel is displayed.
Click the Update button. The Update source strings popup is displayed.
If you encounter a validation error, see the How to resolve a validation error when updating a string list? guide.
Verify if those changes match your expectations.

If you have some translations already uploaded, select the target languages and click the
icon to align source and target strings. This action will read the translations from the target files in the workspace. It finds the target files by using the target rules that were defined in the workspace.
If the alignment did not result in translations, developers should verify the target rules in the workspace.
Open the lists to see the translations.
