Editing Exported Content for Guided Re-Record
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.

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.

The XLIFF file can be edited via a specialized XLIFF editor such as Xliff Editor or Heartsome.
