When setting up a file format configuration for XLIFF files, there are many options to choose from to ensure extraction is successful. This page will explain each section of configuration options for XLIFF files.

...

  • Content SectionExtract XLIFF notes on segment level to Wordbee comments, extract any existing translations , (if any) and set segment status to 'Translated' in the translated XLIFF file.
  • Comments - Extract XLIFF notes on segment level to Wordbee comments and write new comments added during translation work in the translated file.
  • HTML Content SectionInform the system that the content is HTML, set up a configuration for HTML extraction, and split text at HTML break tags.
  • Whitespaces and Symbols SectionDo not show leading and trailing whitespaces, do not show preceeding and trailing markup, do not translate texts containing neither letters or digits, and always preserve whitespacees by default.
    Exclude Content Section - Configure content to be translated or not translated when the system looks for texts or regular expression patterns.
  • Text Segmentation Section Split segments at XLIFF segmentation boundaries, enable SRX rules for text segmentation, and elect to always split text at line breaks.


Do not translate tab

Exclude Content Sections - Configure content to be translated or not translated when the system looks for texts or regular expression patterns.

  • Segments
  • Words or terms
  • Attributes and comments


SDL XLIFF Tab

The SDL XLIFF Tab may be used to load advanced properties when XLIFF files have been produced by other CAT tools. 

  • Extract Origin of TranslationsThe SDL 'origin' attribute specifies the origin of the translation: 'tm' for translation memory, 'mt' for machine translation, etc. The SDL 'percent' attribute tells whether a pretranslation is exact, fuzzy or perfect. These fields will be mapped to the respective fields in Wordbee Translator. The Wordbee word count will then take into consideration these values.

 

QA tab

Pass over restrictions on the size of the segments to highlight issues when performing quality assurance checks

Web preview tab

Wordbee supports web preview with XSLT stylesheets allowing the conversion of XML files into HTML for easier and customizable previewing in the web browser. The stylesheet must convert the XML file to HTML (find more details in this help page XSLT). You can have a library with all your stylesheets available in the platform by uploading them within a specific folder in the Documents tab of the Master Company (navigate to "My Company" > Documents).
