Is it possible to translate a .flsnp file in Studio 2021?

I'm using Studio 2021 and in my project I've some *.flsnp file to be processed.

I found the following solution, but unfortunately it does not work. Can anybody help? Thanks.

To make Madcap Flare Snippet files translatable and to be recognized by Studio, go to Files Types -> XML: MadCap Compliant -> and manually add *.flsnp and *.fltar extensions in File dialog wildcard expression field.

  • Hi Paul, the file simply does not open. Nothing happens. I use Studio 2021, may this be the problem? I saw the solution was for Studio 2017. Thanks.

    I doubt it.  The solution is just explaining how you get Studio to recognise the flsnp files.  I created a short sample snippet file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd">
        <head>
            <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
        </head>
        <body>
            <p class="BodyText">This is a sample Madcap Flare snippet. You can insert this snippet in multiple places in your documentation. When you update this snippet, all the places where it is used will be updated automatically.</p>
        </body>
    </html>

    Here's how you do it... and I'm using 2021 for this.  I did it live... worked through a project template issue, but it all works as intended.  Hopefully this will help you to either make it work or explain better what your problem is:
