A segment in an XLIFF file is only excluded from translation if the translate attribute is set to no. An alternative approach would be to use the state attribute that would cause the segment to be marked as Completed in XTM Workbench.

What can be customized within the XLF/XLIFF parser?

As was already mentioned in the previous section, XTM Cloud enables you to decide on which specific XLF/XLIFF elements should be extracted and which should not:

• XTM Cloud standard XLF/XLIFF parser can be customized to extract segment IDs or custom columns.

• The comments (from note elements) and maxlength and minlength (from maxwidth and minwidth attributes of trans-unit) are extracted by default.

• The language-based segmentation can also be adjusted (sentence-based or paragraph-based segmentation).

• The content-based (on inline tags) segmentation and translation rules are not customizable.

• The XLIFF state attribute can be mapped to a preferred XTM Workbench status, and the XTM Workbench status can be mapped to a preferred target state attribute for XLIFF.

• The target language code can be mapped to a preferred one for a particular language.

XTM Cloud advanced XLF/XLIFF parser allows for everything the previous one did, and adds the possibility to exclude something from translation, break segments on inline elements, and hide or lock already translated segments. For more information, do not hesitate to contact XTM International Support.
