Download the edited files
Editing in the translation editor changes the segments, not the finished document. When your team is done, Taia rebuilds the files from the edited segments so you get back the same format you uploaded, with the human corrections in it.
Prerequisites
- A project whose segments have been edited in the translation editor.
Steps
-
Open the project.
-
Because the translation has changed since it was last built, the project shows a Translation Updated card instead of the usual download card.
-
Click Download Updated Files.
Taia rebuilds each file from the current segments and gives you the result in the original format, with layout and formatting preserved.
Do this after every round of edits
The rebuild is a snapshot of the segments at the moment you click. If someone edits more afterwards, the card comes back and you download again to pick up the changes. Downloading does not lock the project or stop anyone editing.
If a file fails to rebuild
The most common cause is a segment problem rather than a system fault, and the two usual culprits are:
- An empty target segment. If a segment was cleared instead of translated, some formats cannot be rebuilt around the gap. Open the editor, filter for empty segments, and fill them in.
- Broken formatting tags. If the tags that carry bold, links, or placeholders were removed or reordered, the document structure no longer matches. See review annotations (QA flags) — tag problems are flagged there.
Fix the segment and download again. If it still fails, contact support with the project name.
