Madcap Flare Plugin

Hi,

How can I obtain the Madcap Flare Plugin that works with SDL Trados 2017?

Thanks,

Maha

  • You need to add file extensions of the other localizable MadCap Flare files, plus configure a way to recognize/detect them (in my examples I used their root elements):

    (the last root element in the list, not visible on screenshot, is "CatapultProject" for the *.flprj MadCap Flare project files)

    Then you might also need/want to edit the Parser settings to add/edit the XML parser rules according your requirements.
    For example here you can see some added rules for the added *.flXXX files (the "//Variable" or "//Content" and other rules), a special rule to exclude texts set as "Do Not Translate" and "Under Construction" (i.e. draft) in MadCap Flare, or an extra rule to exclude texts in <code> element, per client's requirement.

    And here is an example of some further finetuning:
    - a rule to localize hyperlinks, but finetuned to extract link only if it contains a slash (to exclude zillions of nontranslatable links to in-page anchors like <a href="#hist_tags_anchor">hist_tags</a> and not pollute the files with useless stuff screwing up the wordcounts)
    - rules to color texts with "class=uicontrol" attribute, and to color MadCap Flare tracked-changes texts... to visually help translators to comprehend the texts (which gets REALLY REALLY tricky if tracked changes are left in the file!)
