Directory: The directory or project selected in the project selection [Project selection] is already entered.

Include subordinate directories [Include subdirectories]: Not activated by default

Export directory:

Export creates multiple .xlf files (one for each target language).

Via context menu of the input field, you have the following place holders available, which can optionally modify the set path:

Example: <filePathShort> of the AHP block cylinder is resolved in ahp-blockzylinder-blockzylinder.prj.

File name: Structure of the file name. Placeholders are also available here in the context menu of the input field.

XLIFF files usually end with .xlf.

Example:

In the following example, the placeholder "<filePath>" has been added to the export directory [Export directory]. -> The corresponding subfolders are then automatically created in the export directory.

The names of the xlf files are put together from file path, target language and the XLIFF version.

Example with placeholders for "Export directory [Export directory] " and "File name [File name] ".

Version:

Encode variable tags ($xxx.) [Encode Variable tags (<xxx>)]: From version 2.0.

Default: enabled

Variables such as $NB. are replaced by placeholders. This is very useful as it prevents errors from occurring with references to other columns in the table.

Encode HTML tags (<xxx>): From version 2.1.

Default: enabled

Similar to Encode variable tags ($xxx.) [Encode Variable tags (<xxx>)].

HTML-Tags like <h1><p><br> are replaced by placeholders.

Notes for the translator: From version 2.0.

Default: disabled

Additional information such as the source of the translation is written.

Write xml:lang: attribute in the source code. Default value is deactivated.

Any language displayed on the Translation tab page can be selected as the source language. Select this from the list field.

Important For each catalog, Catalog created [Catalog created in the language] should be set in the language [Catalog created in the language] and default language of the catalog [Default language of catalog]. (XLIFF only supports correctly marked languages. An error message appears if not available)

Force internal identifiers as source language: XLIFF makes it possible to export from any source language to any target language.

This function is only compatible with the current translation system via a workaround. As the existing CSV functions were used for the import, the source language must first be replaced by the base language. This is very time-consuming, but possible if this option is deactivated. If it is activated, the base text is written as metadata for each translation. This means that the base text is used during import instead of the actual translation and the time-consuming conversion from the source language to the base language is no longer necessary.

Default: enabled

Enable the desired target languages.

Write default values as translation suggestion:

Useful if "Internal identifiers" is selected as the source language. However, the functionality can only be used with some XLIFF editors. Not compatible with option Notes for the translator.

As of version 2.0.

If no translation is available, please write [If no translation is available, write]...

If during the export there is no translation available for a certain text, the target tag can be configured here.

In XLIFF, a translation is valid if the translation state is "translated". The content of the target tag is of secondary importance. There are XLIFF editors, which disregard the translation state.

Translation status: The user can select whether they only want to export texts that do not yet have a translation or only texts that have already been translated, which is useful if translations are only to be adapted but no new ones are to be added.
