Hello everybody,
I was just wondering if it's somehow possibile to save the job you have done in Across.
What happens if one day your computer doesn't start anymore?
I have been told there is no way to save the job done, if you're are afraid your PC has problems, just upload the job you have done until now.
Thank you for your help | | | |

Hi,
If you are using the remote client then you are right. There is no way of saving a copy locally, you will have to deliver the document to the server.
Personally I do that at the end of the day if I work on a large project, just in case something goes wrong with the computer. If it does you can then retrieve it from another computer and continue with your translation.

would that be possible that your work cannot be saved? Saving, or even more, automatic saving of your work, is the most important thing for a translator, much more important than TM. Lay-out and organization of the text would be number two, in my opinion, something that helps the translator to make the text look presentable. Various spell checking programs will be number three, in my opinion. I am sure Across must allow saving. Otherwise it would be just a joke of a program. | | | |

Hello,
There is one way:
Open crosstank, then export as TMX (you will have to define some settings).
However some clients choose to block this Export function...

One question: if you upload the job at the end of each day, is it still on your computer the next day or do you have to donwload it again every time? | | | |

Hi,
The job will still be on your computer as long as you don't mark the files as 'finished' when you deliver them to the server.

Are you sure, Åsa?
I think, tasks can only be uploaded after they have been fully translated and then disappear from across.

I do this all the time, but you have to make sure that the documents are not selected on the second screen when you deliver the files, se below.
In the deliver task wizard, do this:
1) Click 'Next' in the first screen
2) Select 'Upload task(s) to the server directly (crossWan load)' and click 'Next'
3) Select the file(s) you want to deliver (upload) and click 'Next'
4) Make sure the file(s) are NOT SELECTED in the next screen, there is a warning at the top saying 'Select the tasks which you have completed or do not work with any longer. These tasks can be viewed.... etc.' and click 'Next'
5) Wait for the file(s) to be delivered (uploaded)
That's it, there is now a back up of your job on the server and you can continue to work with the documents on your computer. If you now have a problem with your computer you can retrieve the files from a different computer using the cap file your client has provided you with.
Hope this helps,
