File Type Component
WorldServer file types are responsible for segmenting content for the purpose of translation. They are typically created to handle specific types of documents. For instance, the XML file type is used to parse and segment XML documents. WorldServer invokes file types anytime new content is opened or identified to be segmented. The segments produced by the file types are stored within the WorldServer metadata and are used to provide translatable pieces of the asset.
WorldServer includes several file types to handle the most popular MIME types. However, there are times when you may need to handle additional MIME types or you may require a slightly different handling of a particular MIME type.
