Editing Exported Files

For each exported language, one XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) file is created. The exported XLIFF file(s) contain all phrases and author-entered text in the content. Both the phrases and the author-entered text must be translated. Boilerplate text provided with the template (for example, "Use this procedure to") is automatically translated via the phrases provided in the template.

The file is formatted to facilitate translation by displaying the source (original) text co-located next to the target translated text.

Open the exported XLIFF file in the desired editor.

NOTE:

The XLIFF file can be edited in Notepad, in an HTML editor, or via a specialized XLIFF editor such as Xliff Editor or Heartsome.
Edit the text or data values as necessary.
Save the file(s).

NOTE:

The XLIFF file must be saved to the original export directory using the same filename.
