Translation file


The translation file, named XLIFF, is generated either inside BI Publisher or from MS Word using the Template Builder add-on for Word.

The XML Localization Interchange file Format (XLIFF) is the standard format used by localization providers.

In the following image, you can see the elements of an XLIFF file structure. Open the XLIFF file in a browser to get a similar view of the DOM (Document Object Model) structure. The most important tags, you will be working with in the translation process, are as follows:

  • <file>

  • <source>

  • <target>

This is not a translated version of an XLIFF file—the <source> and <target> tags have identical content, as shown in the following screenshot:

The circumstances under which BI Publisher is used depends on the user's need, and business partners, there are more techniques available in BI Publisher.

Check out the next section to get a better understanding of the way the XLIFF file is used.
