Import-based XML Parser rules

You can import parser rules from the file type settings of other files, from schema files and from other XML files.

You can import them when you create an XML file type (in the Create File Type Wizard), or at any time later, using the Import button on the Parser Rules page.

Settings FileDescription
SDL Trados 2007 files .INI

Extract and import the parser rules from the file type settings

SDLX analysis files.ANL

Extract and import the parser rules from the SDLX file type settings

XML files.XML

Import a simple set of parser rules from an XML file. The rules will contain a list of elements and attributes from the XML file. You will still need to edit the parser rules for each element to set translatability settings and so on.

XML schema .XSD

These provide more information than the XML files. For example, they will define inline and structure elements.

ITS Rules files .XML

The W3 Consortium standard Internationalization Tag Set defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/its/

XML schema .DTD

Import a simple set of parser rules from a DTD file. Review the imported rules and add new ones on the Parser Rules page to make sure that Trados Studio handles matching elements correctly.

To import the parser rules settings from other Trados Studio XML file type settings (files with extension *.sdlftsettings ), you need to import the whole set of file type settings for that file type. Select File type, rather than any one file type, so that all File Types are displayed, and select Import Settings.
