Configuring Kilgray MemoQ XLIFF file types

Configure Kilgray MemoQ XLIFF file type settings, so that you customize the way XLIFF documents using Kilgray MemoQ specializations are processed during translation or review.

Procedure

  1. Decide for which projects you want to configure file type settings:
    • For the active project, go to the Projects view, and on the Home tab, select Project Settings.
    • For all future projects, go to File > Options.
  2. Expand the File Types list, and select XLIFF: Kilgray MemoQ.
  3. Select the Whitespace page, to specify how SDL Trados Studio deals with whitespace characters (spaces, non-breaking spaces, tabs, line breaks) in the elements of an XML file. Under Whitespace in content, choose one of the options:
    • Select Always preserve, so that SDL Trados Studio does not replace any whitespace found in the XML element with a single space.
    • Select Normalize unless xml:space='preserve', so that SDL Trados Studio replaces only the whitespace which is not tagged with the attribute xml:space='preserve'.
    • Select Always normalize, so that SDL Trados Studio replaces any whitespace found in the XML element with a single space, ignoring any xml:space='preserve' attribute.
  4. Select the Segment status mapping page and specify the available settings:
    • Under File opening:, create correspondences between the XLIFF status: and the Studio status: columns, by choosing values from the lists, for each column.
    • Under File saving:, create correspondences between the Studio status: and the XLIFF status: columns, by choosing values from the lists, for each column.
    • Under Segment locking, select the checkboxes corresponding to the segment status which triggers a lock operation.
  5. Select the QuickInsert page.
  6. Specify QuickInsert settings to insert tags and formatting, or to insert text and special characters.
  7. Select OK.
