Create a project

Create a project for content that shares a source language, language resources, and review workflow. A website, mobile app, or documentation set can each have its own project.

Choose where your content lives

Your content	Start with
Files you want to manage in Hyperlocalise Platform	A native project, using the steps below
Files already managed in a supported TMS	A TMS connection, then open the provider’s project

Native projects store source files and translations in Platform. Connected projects use provider-owned content and language settings. Creating a native project does not import an existing TMS project.

Before you start

Sign in to the intended workspace. You need permission to create projects and room within the workspace’s project allowance. Check roles and permissions or ask an administrator if you cannot create a project. Choose the source locale actually used in your files and at least one target locale. Include the region your product expects, such as en-US or fr-FR. Use separate projects for content with different source languages.

Create the project

Open Projects and select Create project. In a workspace using a TMS workflow with no native projects, the button is Create native project.
Enter a Name your team can recognize, such as Checkout. Names can contain up to 200 characters.
Choose the source locale.
Choose the target locales. Remove any preselected languages you do not need. The source locale cannot also be a target.
Optionally expand Settings and add a Description for scope, ownership, or release notes.
Select Save project.

The form starts with en-US as the source and fr-FR and de-DE as targets. Check these values before saving; they may not match your content.

Check the result

After saving, the dialog closes and Project created appears. Find the project in the list, open it, and check Settings → Locales. Confirm the source language and target languages before uploading content. For example, a Checkout project with source en-US and target fr-FR is ready for an English checkout file and its French translations. Creating the project does not upload files or generate translations. You can update native project details and locales later in project settings. Changing the source locale label does not translate existing source text; read Manage project languages before making that change.

Cannot create a project?

What you see	What to do
A name or locale validation error	Enter a non-empty name of at most 200 characters, select at least one target locale, and remove the source locale from targets.
A project-limit message	Ask an administrator to check billing and usage. Retrying does not increase the allowance.
“Unable to verify project limits”	Try again later. If it persists, contact support with the timestamp and error.
An access error	Confirm the workspace and your role and project access.
The project is missing from the list	Clear the search, confirm the workspace, and refresh the list before creating another project.

Upload source files, or follow Your first translation with a sample file. Add language resources and reviewer access before expanding the work.
