How to store back a translated file in .xlf format

Shyam Gupta

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

Shyam Gupta

    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.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the quick response. Yes, you are right, it does store it back as .xlf file. I got confused because I wanted to change the file name (not the extension) to differentiate it from the original source file. So I used the option 'save as' and in this case I could change the name of the file but the only extension SDL Studio offers is .sdltb and not a choice between .sdltb and xlf. That confused me. Now I am just saving the file (not using "save as") it works well because SDL Studio adds suffixes by itself and that is sufficient for me to differentiate. I get a file with .xlf extension.

    That answers my question.

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Regards
    Shyam

    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.
