How to create a nightly running update and pretanslation workflow?

Dear all, 

Our software engineering team would like to amp up the software localization cadence to several times per week. However, this conficts with the localization team's capacities.

So I am thinking automation: a nightly running workflow that collects the source files, pretranslates them and creates the target files.

However, I have no idea how to go about the task and would appreciate any input helping us along. 

Thank you to everybody sharing their knowledge and advice.

  • You can create a CMD file that automatically starts using the Windows Scheduler at defined times in the night. You can call Passolo like this

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Passolo\Passolo 2022\psl.exe" /script:"D:\My Projects\PassoloAutomation.txt"

    where the script file can contain all the command line call, that you need to process like 

    /openproject:"D:\My Projects\V01\project.lpu"
    /update
    /translate
    /generate
    /closeproject

    Information about the command line interface (CLI) can be found in the Online Help.
