Manage a Linguistic Package

A linguistic package is a collection of language pairs and the following linguistic assets:

• Translation Memory
• Glossary
• Style Guide
• Leverage Configuration
• Quality Checks

A linguistic package allows you to easily group each linguistic asset to a set of language pairs - one source language and one or more target languages. The linguistic package can then be easily applied to any Smartling project. A linguistic package can also be applied to multiple projects to ensure consistency.
