Installing the File Type Support Server
WorldServer handles and segments assets through the file types used by the File Type Support (FTS) Server. You can run this separate, Windows-only server either as a Windows service (recommended) or through a Windows console.
WorldServer identifies translatable text based on the file type of the asset. Because the exact makeup of translatable text versus other content varies greatly across different file formats, this process is very file-format specific, but it also has some common features across multiple file types.
