Filter Component

WorldServer file type filters 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 filter is used to parse and segment XML documents. WorldServer invokes filters any time new content is opened or identified to be segmented. The segments produced by the filters are stored within the WorldServer metadata and are used to provide translatable pieces of the asset.

WorldServer includes several file type filters to handle the most popular MIME (file) 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.
