The XLIFF format is natively supported starting from version 11.1.1, as stated in this article. In earlier WorldServer versions (until 11.1.0), a filter configuration could be created, based on certain conditions.
The solution is based on using the Custom XML (Legacy Embedded Content) File Type. A specific Filter Configuration based on this filter should be created. The filter configuration includes these 2 entries in the ‘parser’ section:
//target always translatable
//* not-translatable
Note: The order of the 2 entries matters
IMPORTANT: If the XLF/XLIFF Mime Type is not set in WorldServer (which is not per default), this Mime Type should first be added to the Mime Types table under
Management > Administration > Customization
and it should be mapped to the Custom XML Studio File Type filter and filter configuration.
Note: This filter configuration applies to most XLF/XLIFF files. However, if the XLF/XLIFF files have a different structure and cannot be segmented correctly with the Filter Configuration above, please contact the RWS Professional Services Team for a quote for the creation of a custom filter.
