ini files in Studio 2015

How to translate ini files in Studio 2015? I have added manually an extension *.mqxliff but still the program does not recognize ini files. Anyone who could help me?

  • Hello ,

    I think you may be a little confused here. If this is an INI file that would have been used in Trados then this is not translated itself. It can be used to create filetype settings in Studio to open another file, or it can be used in Trados to create a TTX which can then be handled in Studio without the need for an INI at all.

    If it's actually a file containing translatable text but with the extension INI then you need to create a custom filetype in Studio to handle this. Possibly not to difficult it just depends on the content. Can you share an example of this INI file?

    I'm not sure why you are referring to *.mqxliff as this really has absolutely nothing to do with this based on the information I have been able to glean from you so far.

    Regards

  • Hi Paul, thank you for the answer. I have never worked with *.mqxliff files on Studio. Actually I have a Word file and mqxliff.ini file. The instructions are as follow: 1. Open SDL Studio, go to the File Type option. Select the XLIFF filter, and add the *.mqxliff file extension to the existing XLIFF filters (File dialog wildcard expression: *.xlf;*.xliff;*.mqxliff). 2. Then create a project in SDL Studio, and import the *.mqxliff file (tried to import it on Project files step) SDL Studio will from now on recognize this file extension, since you added it to the existing xliff filter. 3. Use Save target as and deliver the file as *.mqxliff (instead of *SDLxliff). I dont see where I could attach the INI file in here
