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

    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,

    I am afraid I must nag you and have to ask something about the files with .xlf or .xliff extensions.

    From what you told me in your reply (see above),  about  .xlf file - when a target file is stored using just "save" command in Studio 2015, and not "save as",  it will have the same ending as the source file had.

    That means a "source.xml"  file after simple save" should be "target.xml".

    Please consider the source file directory entry:

    Here the source file type is .xml. Looking now at the target file directory entry:

    one sees that the translated file stored (with simple "save") has an SDLXliff file format.

    This would mean that technically ".xml" and "sdl xliff"  are same!!

    And that a customer demanding translated ".xml" file back for a submitted source ".xml" file, could be safely given a SDL xliff file.

    Is this understanding correct?

    Thanks for your explanation and patience in advance.

    Best regards
