Creating a project
A project is the top-level container for a translation effort. It holds your files, your team and their roles, your settings, and the quality signals Aquilla tracks (validation, health and decay, built-in checks).
Create a project
Section titled “Create a project”From the Projects page, choose Create project. You’ll set:
- Project name — what your team will recognise it by.
- Source language — the language you’re translating from.
- Target language — the language you’re translating into.
Under an advanced option you can also choose the project’s shape:
- Self-contained (default) — owns both its source and its target text.
- Source-only — a project that exists to be linked against as a shared source; it has no target language of its own.
- Linked target — reads its source text from another project. See Source projects & linked targets.
Once created, the project appears on your Projects page with its file count, a last-updated time, and a health ring summarising overall progress.
Adding text
Section titled “Adding text”A fresh project starts empty. You add the text you’re translating by:
- importing a file — for example a USFM or plain-text source — or
- linking a source project, so the source text flows in from a shared upstream project.
If you’re moving an existing project over from Codex instead, see Migrating from Codex.
Inviting your team
Section titled “Inviting your team”A project is more useful with people in it. Share an invite link to bring in translators, reviewers, or viewers — each link carries the role you choose. See Inviting people and Roles & permissions.
