Dialog Box:

Export XLIFF 2.0/QuickShip Exchange File

Export TMX File

New in April 2017.

 

 

USE #1 (XLIFF)

The Export XLIFF 2.0 QuickShip Exchange/File dialog box is used to export text data and additional item information from a translation project to a QuickShip exchange file (.xliffex) or XLIFF 2.0 file (.xliff).

 

Additional data can be imported along with the translation unit consisting of source and translation text.

 

 

USE #2 (TMX)

The Export TMX File dialog box is used to export text data to a Translation Memory eXchange file (.tmx).

NOTE – ELEMENT NAME: An exported element gets a unique name (an ID) in the target file.  The name can be used by RC-WinTrans to assign the data upon importing data from the exported file.

Dialog Box Elements

 

·

Select/New... Button (Target File)

Opens a dialog box to specify the name and location of a new target file or to select an existing one.

·

File Name Combo Box (Target File)

The name of the file into which the selected data should be exported.  This can be the name of an existing file or of a new one.

·

Source language and Target language (Translation) Fields

Translation Project: Indicates the project's active source and target languages.

Target File: A newly created target file created will have the source and target languages of the current project.  When the target file already exists, the name of the file's source and target languages will not be changed.  If a language of the data to be exported does not match the languages in the existing file this will be indicated to the user.

In addition to the source language, a TMX file can already have data for more than one target language.  Use the Translations combo box to select the file's target language.  RC-WinTrans preselects the target language of the current project (and thereby the language of the data to be exported) by default.
