  1. Define relevant system configuration settings (if not already done)
  2. Define
    1. task-template.xml
    2. pixel-mapping.xlsx (only if pixel-length check)
    3. Optionally define relevant parameters directly in xliff 1.2
  3. Use ZIP import package and include task-template.xml and if needed pixel-mapping.xlsx

More in detail

For length restrictions to be used in any case a task-template has to be provided for a task and length restrictions have to be activated in it for the task.

  • size-unit
    • If character-length or pixel-length based length check
    • Possible values:
      • pixel
      • char
  • minLength
    • Minimum length in number of pixel / characters
    • Refers to the length of a complete trans-unit of an xliff file, even if it spans multiple segments.
    • This means for min-length set in a task template for let's say a word document, that the length restriction refers to a whole paragraph.
    • If maxNumberOfLines is set, minLength is not supported so far (ask translate5's development team, if you need it)
  • maxLength
    • Maximum length in number of pixel / characters
    • Refers to the length of a complete trans-unit of an xliff file, even if it spans multiple segments.
    • This means for maxLength set in a task template for let's say a word document, that the length restriction refers to a whole paragraph.
    • If maxNumberOfLines is set, maxLength refers to the length of each line, otherwise maxLength refers to the trans-unit.
      • With maxNumberOfLines set, trans-units must not span multiple segments!
  • translate5:maxNumberOfLines
    • How many lines a segment (not a trans-unit) should maximally have
    • If maxNumberOfLines is set,
      • maxLength refers to the length of each line, otherwise maxLength refers to the trans-unit
      • minLength is not supported so far (ask translate5's development team, if you need it)
      • Trans-units must not span multiple segments!
        If you need maxNumberOfLines to span multiple segments, contact translate5s development team

  • For pixel-based length check:
    • For each character for a certain font and a certain font-size the pixel-width
    • Font-size and used font of current task
      • Definitions in task-template.xml
      • Would be possible to overwrite them in xliff 1.2, yet this is not yet implemented (ask translate5s development team, if you need it)
