How to store back a translated file in .xlf format

Question

Hallo, 
 I am using SDL Studio 2015 SR2. 
 I need to translate an .xlf format file. SDL Studio is able to read in the .xlf file correctly and the translation also proceeds well. 
 However, I can only store back the translated file as .xliff file and not as .xlf file. 
 Question: How can I store back the translated file as .xlf file please? 
 Ans suggestion or tip would be most welcome. 
 Thanks and best regards

Why is that Shyam? If you save target then the extension of the saved target should be the same as the one you fed in.

Excellent... 
 
SaveAs supports you saving a copy of the Studio bilingual format as a new file. This is still SDLXLIFF. This is different to Save Target which is the translated version of the source file.

Walter has hit the nail at the head. 
But the best way to get the final files is to use the batch task "Finalize" - this way you not only get the final file, but also your TM will be updated wit the last changes in the file. 
For working with multiple files do not use the "Translate single document" method, but go for a project instead. This makes the handling of many files (and even several files in several subfolders) much easier.
