<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== New Versions of Wordfast Pro ==<br />
<br />
'''Update:''' Currently, there is no need to use filters to open XLIFF files. You can open XLIFF files just like any other file type using [[Wordfast Pro]] {{menu|File}} menu > {{menu|Open File}}.<br />
<br />
After finishing translation, to get the target (bilingual) XLIFF, go to Wordfast Pro {{menu|File}} menu, and select {{menu|Save Translated File}}.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Old Versions of Wordfast Pro ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Bilingual XLIFF (*.xlf) files''' can be translated with [[Wordfast Pro]] as long as 1) it is a standard XLF file, and 2) source is copied to the target.<br />
<br />
* Make sure the source text is copied to the target; most CAT tools have this option.<br />
* Go to Wordfast Pro Edit menu > Preferences > Formats > New > Text-based Filter. It is better to change the "File name" to distinguish the filter.<br />
* Click the [...] button to browser for the "Conversion rules" (*.properties) file. (See "Sample Files" below!)<br />
* Make sure the "Extension" textbox shows *.xlf and save the settings (OK).<br />
* Now, you should be able to open the XLF file in WFP (File menu > Open file).<br />
* Translate the file as usual and select "Save Translated File" from the WFP "File" menu to get the target file in the original format XLF.<br />
<br />
== Sample Files ==<br />
<br />
XLF example file (generated by iLocalize) can be downloaded [https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B6RiXvgKYZ46LUVrdzZpNFpBaUE here].<br />
<br />
General conversion rules (*.properties) file valid for most '''bilingual''' "standard" XLF files can be downloaded [https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B6RiXvgKYZ46UXM2UzJDQWdTdnM here].<br />
<br />
If you rather need to translate a '''source only''' "standard" XLF, you can use this (*.properties) file downloadable [https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B6RiXvgKYZ46U3NCTXIyLWFRRUk here].<br />
<br />
Those *.properties files might need customization based on the structure of files. To learn more about generating *.properties file, please refer to the article about [[Translation of XML Files]].<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' [[Wordfast Pro]] does NOT officially support translation of XLIFF files. However, the above-mentioned trick can be useful for<br />
"power users". If you think that this trick is too difficult for you, I recommend using [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/virtaal/features Virtaal] which is free and very easy to use,<br />
and it will enable you to open and translate XLIFF files directly, without preparation.<br />
