This week I translated my first SDL project with nested folders. I wasn't sure how CafeTran would handle the package, so I opened it in Studio, copied the target folder tree to my CafeTran project folder and started translating.
Everything went fine. For instance: Once more I was very impressed by the smart QA Spelling. This is absolutely a bless and very fast (and about 1000 times faster than Studio's spell checker).
I performed the other QA checks and closed CafeTran. Then I copied the folder tree from the CafeTran project folder back to the Studio target language folder.
I pressed F8 and found that Studio didn't report any real errors.
I started to create a return package … and made a mistake.
Received a mail from the client that only one folder from the folder tree had been translated. So I talked to him (he's an authorised SDL trainer) and he explained to me what I already knew (but had forgotten): I had to close all open XLIFF files, navigate to the Projects list, open the context menu, choose Create return package (or something like that) and then … I had to click "Select all" to make sure that all files in all nested folders were included in the return package.
Perhaps this short exposé helps you in understanding the workflow for nested folders.
