JSON: is it possible to view meta data in the xliff in Trados Studio?

Question

When translating a JSON file in Trados Studio, we see only text to translate and not the meta data behind it, viewable in Visual Studio for instance. Is it possible to make meta data visible in Trados Studio?

 Hello, 
 When translating a JSON file in Trados Studio, the software primarily focuses on the translatable content and not the metadata. However, you can view some metadata in the "Properties" window in Trados Studio. Here's how: 
 Step 1: Open your JSON file in Trados Studio. 
 Step 2: Click on a segment to select it. 
 Step 3: Go to the "View" tab in the menu bar. 
 Step 4: Click on "Properties". 
 This will open the "Properties" window where you can see some metadata related to the selected segment. Please note that this might not include all the metadata that you can see in Visual Studio. 
 If you need to work with metadata extensively, you might need to use a custom file type or a third-party plugin, as mentioned in the context. Please be aware that these are not officially supported by RWS and may not work in all cases. 
 I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.

 I think the preview function is what you are looking for. For XML files, you can customize this using XSLT, but I think JSON will only give you the text that you extracted for translation in the context of the actual JSON code:

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
