Translate Individual Resource Files with PTC

Your First Project in PTC

When you sign up for the free trial and create your first project in PTC, you always start by uploading an individual resource file. As part of this trial, you can:

• Translate 20,000 words into any two languages
• Evaluate PTC’s translations before deciding whether to connect it to your development workflow

For a full walkthrough of setting up your first project, see the guide to getting started with PTC.

Translating Individual Files in Additional Projects

Once you’ve set up your first project, you can continue to translate individual resource files without connecting a code repository or using the API.

In your PTC dashboard, click New project, then select Manual File Upload.

From there, the setup wizard will guide you through a few steps before your translations are ready, including:

• Adding information about your product and its target audience
• Selecting your target languages
• Uploading your resource file and setting output paths 

Each of these steps gives PTC the context it needs to produce accurate translations that match your product’s tone and style.

When you complete this setup, PTC will automatically translate your file. You can review strings in the Translations tab, or download a ZIP of the translated files from the Resource files tab.
