Assign a Linguistic Package

A linguistic package determines which assets are used by each associated Smartling project. Account Owner and Project Manager users can assign a linguistic package to a new or existing project.

Assigning a new package to a project may cause the project to write to a new translation memory (TM). The old TM will remain in the system but in order to continue benefitting from leveraging prior translations, typically it should be included in the leverage configuration for the new linguistic package.

Assign a Linguistic Package to a New Project

1. Go to the Account Dashboard.
2. Click Create New Project.
3. Select a project type and click Next.
4. On the Project Details page, select an existing linguistic package from the drop-down list to assign to the new project or click the Create New Package link to create a new package with new linguistic assets.

Assign a Linguistic Package to an Existing Project

1. Go to Account Settings > Linguistic Assets and click the package name. 
2. Within the linguistic package details page, click the Active Projects count. Click Assign Projects to select from all available projects. Typing in the field will filter the list of projects. 
3. Click Save to assign the package to the selected project(s). Keep in mind that a project can only be assigned one linguistic package, so the prior package will no longer be assigned to the project.
