translate5 supports SDLXLIFF as import format.
SDL Comments
Comments on segment level can be imported or ignored if enabled in the config. To enable that feature set runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.importComments to 1, more information about configuration.
Target comments: if there are comments on specific words only, they are converted to comments pointing to the whole segment. This changes to the comments are persisted to the SDLXLIFF file on export.
Source comments are imported too. Single words comments remain here, since the source content can not be changed.
SDL TrackChanges / change-marks
If there is TrackChanges markup in SDLXLIF, the made changes can automatically be applied to the content on import time
If client's TrackChanges plugin is inactive and runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.applyChangeMarks set to true
all contents that are marked "deleted" in sdlxliff will be deleted from the segment. All contents marked as "added" will stay and trackchanges markup will be removed. (this is current behavior, but independent of TrackChanges plug-in
If client's TrackChanges plugin is inactive and runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.applyChangeMarks set to false
An error will be thrown and import aborted
If TrackChanges plugin is active and runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.applyChangeMarks set to true
the config will do nothing at all. TrackChanges markup in sdlxliff will lead to trackChanges markup in translate5
If TrackChanges plugin is active and runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.applyChangeMarks set to false
the config will do nothing at all. TrackChanges markup in sdlxliff will lead to trackChanges markup in translate5
By default TrackChanges plugin is inactive and runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.applyChangeMarks set to true, to disable that feature set runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.applyChangeMarks to 0, more information about configuration.
If TrackChanges plugin is inactive and runtimeOptions.import.sdlxliff.applyChangeMarks set to true the changes are applied to the content, the whole change-mark information is removed from the SDLXLIFF file, change-mark meta information (like time of change and author of a specific change) is getting lost.
Track changes on export
The SDLXLIFF-syntax for the "track changes" functionality is supported in the export.
