First of all, if you would like to allow the users to translate offline, you need to have an Administrator role in order to enable such an option in Configuration → Settings → Translation → Workflow and access → Linguist general options → Allow linguists to download/upload.
...
After you generate the XLIFF file, you can download it by clicking the green blue arrow.
...
A generated XLIFF file can be translated in any text editor or used as a source file in another CAT tool that supports this format.
The finished translation file can be then reuploaded to XTM Cloud. Select in Project editor → Files → Offline translation,using the purple arrow this time.
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:

If you do not want the project to be translated outside XTM Cloud, you can always use the XLIFF file as a source file for the XTM Cloud project and translate that file in XTM Cloud. Note that Offline XLIFF files and Source XLIFF files are two different things! To learn more about XLIFF files as source files, read the following article: How XLIFF/XLF Files are Handled as Source Files in XTM Cloud. |

Locking segments based on trans-unit attribute upon offline XLIFF import
...
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.
...
In Project Editor → Files → Offline translation, generate and download an offline XLIFF file, as usual.
Open the downloaded file for editing, preferably in Notepad++.
Find and select segments (trans-units) that you would like to lock in XTM Workbench.
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.
