Navigate to the folder where you stored the sample files, select the ENUS DEDE.sdltm translation memory file and click Open. The file is added to the list of
selected translation memories.
Click Next to display the Termbases page. This is where you add and remove local and remote MultiTerm termbases.
Navigate to the folder where you stored the sample files, select the Sample.sdltb termbase file and click Open. The termbase is displayed in the Select
Termbases dialog box.
Select the check box next to the termbase name and click OK.
Click Next to display the Project Preparation page. This is where you specify how you want project files to be prepared. You can accept the default preparation
task sequence or create a sequence of your own.
By default the Prepare task sequence is selected. This will perform the necessary pre-processing steps to your project files.
Click Next to display the Batch Processing Settings page. This is where you can review and change the settings used by SDL Trados Studio when performing
the Prepare task sequence.
A batch process is a process performed by the system on a selected project file or on the entire project. For example, the Word Count process performs a word
count for selected files and the word count results can be seen in the SDL Trados Studio views and reports.
To accept the defaults, click Next. The Project Summary page is displayed.

files.

list in the Projects view and becomes the active project.
