Analyse of pretranslated segments in XLF files

Sébastien Desautel

Hello,

I've discovered today, that segments that are pretranslated in a xlf file (XLIFF 1.2 filter) are not considered in the analyze of the prepared sdlxliff. If I analyze without a TM, I only see new matches, repetitions and if I want the locked segments. But not the translated files.

Is there any possibility to take the segments into account in the analyze in a few steps? The best I can imagine is to create a temp TM for the project and update it right at the beginning before analyzing. Have you any better option?

Kind regards

Sébastien

    I think, because the analysis is driven from the TM, you have no choice but to do what you have suggested.  I created a custom batch task like this:

    Trados Studio screenshot showing the 'Create a New Project - Batch Tasks' window with a custom task sequence selected including 'Analyze Files' and 'Translation Memory Updates'.

    This gave me an analysis, from an empty TM, like this:

    For this file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xliff version="1.2" >
  <file original='somefile.txt' source-language="en-GB" target-language="de-DE" datatype='plaintext' >
    <header>
      <note>simple xliff</note>
    </header>
    <body>
     <trans-unit id="1">
      <source>First sentence</source>
      <target state="translated">First sentence</target>
     </trans-unit>
     <trans-unit id="2">
      <source>Second sentence</source>
      <target state="needs-adaptation">Second sentence</target>
     </trans-unit>
     <trans-unit id="3">
      <source>Third sentence</source>
      <target state="translated">Third sentence</target>
     </trans-unit>
     <trans-unit id="4">
      <source>Fourth sentence</source>
      <target state="needs-adaptation">Fourth sentence</target>
     </trans-unit>
    </body>
  </file>
</xliff>

    So that worked and validates your thought process.  I also don't have a better idea.  I had a quick play using "XLIFF Manager" from Maxprograms and this might be useful for you once you understand how to interpret the results... although it may be a little limited in terms of what it reports on:
