Hello,
I have some xliff documents from another software, and this documents have pretranslated text in alt-trans fields.
I can see them in the preview, but the editor does not give me any information obout them.
Is there any way to see, from the editor, that a segment have a pretranslation in alt-trans? and how to set this pretranslated text as the translation of the segment?
Thankyou!
We don't use this information at all, only in the preview.
I guess you could workaround it and use regex to replace the target content in the XLIFF with the alt-trans? That might be a workaround for you.

Hello Paul,
In some cases, there is more than one alternative for the same segment, and I would like to find a way to choose between them when I am working with that segment, instead of doing all the substituitions blindly.
I hope there is a more suitable aproach to deal with it, but if I can not find any, I will try this.
Thankyou for your suggestion
Could you send me a sample file based on what you see? I mocked up an example that follows the spec but would be interested to see what you get. This is what I used:
Translate
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xliff version='1.2' xmlns='urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2'>
<file original='hello.txt' source-language='en' target-language='es' datatype='plaintext'>
