KNP / Term bases

In order to ensure consistent terminology, Excel sheets with termbases (aka Key names and phrases) can be uploaded into Plint Core, linked to projects and used within Plint Subtitler as a live help while translating. 

Adding KNP to a project includes these steps

    Create or update an Excel file with terms and phrases in all relevant languages Import this file into Plint Core Link it to a "Production KNP" Create a project linked to the same Production KNP Include a step in the workflow to add KNPs to the JSON work file

    The Excel file

    The file needs to follow a certain format (a template is available on request). Columns 2 and 3 (source and target language) are mandatory. The rest can be used for additional information, for example when working on a shared Excel book.

    Specifying language

    Each target language requires a corresponding tab in the file. The most important part is to specify the language code in quotes, e.g. "sv". This code must match the target language on the project exactly, including locale if used. ("sv-SE" will for example not match "sv").
