Import XLIFF files

Learn how to import translated XLIFF files back into Adobe FrameMaker.

Once you share the XLIFF file with your translation service provider, the translator processes the file, extracts translatable content, and finally translates the content. This could go through multiple iterations before the final set of translated content is made available. Once the translated content is ready, the translation service provider gives the translated XLIFF files back to you. FrameMaker allows you to easily import the translated XLIFF file back in FrameMaker and you can publish it in the desired output format.

To import the XLIFF file, perform the following steps :

1. Go to File > Translation > Import XLIFF.

   Figure 1. XLIFF Import Settings dialog
   
   

2. In the XLIFF Import Settings dialog, specify the Package Filename that you have received from your translation service provider.

3. Specify an Output Directory to extract the file contents.

   Note: It is recommended to use an empty Output Directory. If you are using a directory where you had extracted the XLIFF files earlier, then those files will get overwritten.

On successful execution of the import process, a success message is displayed along with the XLIFF (import) Conversion Report.
