The version of the MS Office converter should correspond to the Office version on the machine. Different versions cannot be installed on the same machine.
- Create a shared directory (<ConversionDir> for the purposes of this document), which contains your source files. This should match the directory that you set in the Install Wizard – Optional Packages – MS Office 2003/2007 Adapter Conversion Directory
For example: d:\WINFILES - Under the <ConversionDir>, create a directory for the MS Office format you want to import. For example, “excel”, “word” or “PowerPoint”. Word is used for the purposes of this document
- Enable the Microsoft Word Adapter during the installation of GlobalSight by setting the following installation parameters:
- Microsoft Word Adapter Conversion Directory [D:\WINFILES], as in D:\<ConversionDir>. Do not use a trailing slash in the name. If the conversion directory is n a different computer and is being accessed over the network, do not use a mapped drive. Use the UNC path instead. For example: \\server\WINFILES. Mapped drives do not work if the server has been set to start up automatically on reboot
- Extract GlobalSight_MSOffice2003_Converter.zip or GlobalSight_MSOffice2007_Converter.zip
- Double-click setup.exe to start the installation
Both MS Office 2003 and 2007 converters need .NET framework v3.5.

Configuring GlobalSight for Auto-Import (optional)
This feature allows you to import files automatically into the system.
Prerequisites
Set up GlobalSight with at least one Localization Profile and one File Profile so that the settings you enter below can accurately reference GlobalSight objects for processing and routing.
Setting Auto-Import parameters
- Edit the file <application_home>/autoFileImport.properties
- Use the table below to enter the correct parameters for your GlobalSight installation
Changes to this file require a GlobalSight restart
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
disableAutoImport | Flag (true or false) to enable the entire Auto-Import feature. If it is false, then no directories are watched for auto-import.
Default: false |
pollingFrequency | The polling frequency in seconds. This is how often the GlobalSight polls the directories for changes.
Default: 60 |
BatchSize | This determines the number of files to import in a batch when changes have been detected. This only matters if the associated Localization Profile uses Batch instead of WordCount to determine the job size.
For example, if, it has been determined that three files have changed when polling, either three batches containing one file each can be sent, or one batch containing three files The values allowed are “one” or “all” Default: one |
AssumeUnencounteredFilesAreNew | Flag (true or false) to tell GlobalSight whether or not files in a previously un-scanned directory are new. For example, if the directory en_US\pressReleases exists and has five files before the first time GlobalSight is run, then all five files are identified as new, files and imported if the property is set to true.
If the property is set to false, then the five files are not be imported unless are modified later. A sixth file added to the directory is b identified as new and imported regardless of the setting Default: true |
Specifying the directories to watch
- Edit the file <application_home>/autoFileImport.map
- Enter one line for each directory that you want to watch. Enter each line in the format:
<directory> | <jobNamePrefix> | <FileProfileName>- <directory> is the directory that you want to watch. Watching is recursive, so sub-directories will also be watched
- <FileProfileName> is the File Profile in GlobalSight that corresponds to the files in this directory
For example, the entry:
en_US\pressReleases | PressReleases | My_en_US_HTML_Files
specifies that the directory <globalsight_docs>\en_US\pressReleases is watched by GlobalSight for new and changed files. The files imported from this directory will be processed as specified in the GlobalSight File Profile “My_en_US_HTML_Files”.
Preparing documents for import
- Create the document directory that you entered during the installation of the GlobalSight files
- For example: d:\welocalize\docs
- Create a sub-directory where you store your source files
- For example: d:\welocalize\docs\en_US
- Put the documents you want to import in this directory
- If your source language is different, replace en_US with your source language locale. For example: es_MX.
