Multi-File Projects

Multi-file projects let you import a whole folder of files as a single Supervertaler project.

Import a folder

All segments live in one grid, but each segment is associated with a source file.
You can jump between files and track progress per file.
Each DOCX file is imported via the Okapi sidecar (the same engine that handles single-file DOCX import) – you get SRX segmentation, faithful round-trip, and hyperlinks/structural tags preserved per file.
TXT and MD files use the simple per-line import.
Original files are backed up to a _source_files/ folder inside the project folder so the export can reconstruct each document faithfully.

When you export a multi-file project:

Each DOCX file is reconstructed via the Okapi sidecar’s /merge endpoint, using the original from _source_files/ as the template. Layout, formatting, hyperlinks, and tables round-trip identically.
TXT/MD files are written with the same per-line structure as the source.
Output files land in the destination folder you choose, named <original>_translated.<ext>.

Use this when you receive a set of related files (e.g. claim documents, manual chapters split into separate files, UI strings split across documents).
Export is done in one operation – pick the destination folder and Supervertaler writes all the translated files at once.

The Okapi sidecar must be running before you import any folder containing DOCX files. Supervertaler checks this up-front and shows an “Okapi sidecar required” dialogue if it can’t reach the sidecar – better than failing halfway through importing twenty files.
