Use this sheet of Translate Wizard to select a translation method, exchange format, and exchange filter for each language.

Translate method and format

Select how the selected language is going to be translated and how the translation package is going to be delivered. Possible values are:

	Value	Description
	Do not send this language to be translated	This language is not translated. Either you translate this language yourself, or you choose not to translate this language at the moment.
	Send translation package manually as a file	Create a translation package file that you can send to your translator. If you use this method, you have a translator that translates your strings. You can choose the format of the translation package to make sure that you send the strings in the format that your translator can handle.
	Upload translation package to cloud	Upload translations to Soluling's cloud-based translation service. Soluling cloud notifies your translators. Translators use Soluling web application to enter translations. You need to have an active Cloud Service account in order to use this option. Will be available in the future!
	Order translations from professional translators	Order translations from our professional translator. The job usually takes from a day to a few days depending on the number of your strings and the translation quality you choose. This is a paid service. You have to pay for the translation job in advance. Will be available in the future!
	Translate automatically using translation memory and/or machine translator	Use either cloud-based translation memory or cloud-based machine translation, or both. The job usually takes from few seconds to few minutes, depending on the number of your strings. This is a paid service, and you have to have credit in your Cloud Translation Memory account to use this. Will be available in the future!

Some translation methods support multiple file formats. Use the Format combo box to select the format you want to use.

Select the exchange package format. This must be compatible with the editing tool of the translator. Following formats are supported:

Format	Description
Soluling project	The exchange package is a Soluling project file (.ntp). If your translator does not have a Soluling license, she can download a free translator's edition from our home pages. This is the recommended format when sending data to a translator.
Soluling package	The exchange package is a Soluling exchange file (.ntpx) that contains the project file and optionally source files and the files needed to handle them. If your translator does not have a Soluling license, she can download a free translator's edition from our home pages. Use this instead of a Soluling project if you want to include the source and library file into the exchange package. Include them allows the translator to build localized files and test them.
XLIFF	The exchange package is an XLIFF file (.xlf). Use this if your translator uses an XLIFF compatible editing tool such as Trados.
TMX	The exchange package is a TMX file (.tmx). Use this if your translator uses a TMX compatible editing tool such as Trados.
Text	The exchange package is a text file (.txt). Use this if your translator uses a text editor such as Notepad.
Excel 2007 or later	The exchange package is an Excel 2007 file (.xlsx). Use this if your translator uses an Excel 2007 or later.
Excel 97-2003	The exchange package is an Excel 97-2003 file (.xls). Use this if your translator uses old Excel.
OpenDocument Spreadsheet	The exchange package is an OpenDocument Spreadsheet file (.ods). Use this if your translator uses Open Office.

Depending on the selected translate method, the above list may only contain some or even one format.
