Thanks for your response, Evzen.

Out of curiosity, apart from preparing the file to convert it into SDLXLIFF, what other common operations could be performed on the SDLXLIFF file following the “Prepare” or “Prepare without project TM”? Under Freelance, the only other option available under Batch Tasks once the file has been prepared is “Copy to Target Languages,” which, for bilingual projects, is not really an issue.

[You were asking: “What exactly means ‘prepared’?” I was specifically referring to “Prepare” or “Prepare without project TM” only.]

For example a custom batch task consisting of vitually ANYTHING - one or more built-in predefined tasks, one or more custom task coming from installed plugins, or combination of both.
And depending on a) what exactly that task(s) do and b) what exactly has the user in mind to do afterwards, it may or may not be desirable to automatically switch to target language at all... not mentioning the question WHICH one.
