Creating a Project

Create a project when you are starting a new translation workspace. Codex asks for the project name, source language, and target language before it creates the project so the editor, AI settings, validation, and export tools all have the right project context.

Create a New Project

1. Launch Codex and sign in.
2. On the Project Setup screen, click Create New Project.
3. Enter the project name.
4. Choose the Source language.
5. Choose the Target language.
6. Confirm to create the project.

After the project opens, use the Navigation panel to add source files.

What Happens After Creation

A new project starts with project metadata and empty translation workspace structure. It does not contain source content until you import it.

Your usual next steps are:

1. Open Navigation from the compass icon.
2. Click Add Source File.
3. Import source content.
4. Review or create the project system message when the import wizard asks for it.
5. Start translating in the generated target files.

Rename a Project

Open the Main Menu and edit the project name near the top of the panel. Renaming changes how the project appears in Codex. If the project is shared, sync after renaming so collaborators receive the updated metadata.

Local, Cloud, and Team Projects

• Local project: Exists on this device. You can edit it offline.
• Cloud project: Available to download from the project list because you have access to it.
• Synced project: Exists locally and has a cloud remote for team collaboration.
• Non-synced project: Exists locally but has not been published or connected to cloud sync.

Use Opening and Closing Projects to understand the startup project filters and project-card actions.
