At this stage, you can specify the workflow step to which you would like to upload your translation and specify what segments are to be approved immediately:

When uploading an offline XLIFF file to a project it is possible to have XTM Workbench segments locked, based on a specific attribute with a specific value, that can seamlessly be added within a trans-unit node in the mentioned XLIFF file: xtm:locked="yes", xtm:locked="true", xtm:locked="y".

In this way, the team responsible for offline localization process have full control over which parts of the content ought to be further translated in XTM Cloud, and which should not. In other words, the team are able to indicate which segments have some content that must not be translated or the content that does not need any further correcting, etc.

  4. Within the <trans-unit … > element:

  • add the xtm:locked= attribute and one of the following variations of its value: “yes”, “true”, “y”. For example: xtm:locked="yes", to have the segment locked in XTM Workbench.

...

  • add the xtm:locked= attribute and one of the following variations of its value: “no”, “false”, “n”. For example: xtm:locked="no", to make sure that the segment is not locked in XTM Workbench.
