Working With Target Libraries Away from the Source Library

There can be circumstances when Target Libraries are administered at a site (or sites) away from the Source Library. For example, you may be sharing the project with a localization vendor and they may be managing the coordination of updates and translation jobs. Or your company may have branches in other countries, and while you work with the source library, each branch may be responsible for their own Localization.

In these circumstances, you will need to create updates from the Source Library and send these to the external site/s. The only file that you need to send is the Localization Name_#.zip file. The Localization Coordinator at the external site then unpacks the update which extracts the files recreating the folder structure, mirroring that at the main site.

Note: The first update received at the external site becomes the Target Library.
