IFC translation service: advanced features

1. Offline proofreading

You can download each file separately (in original or XLIFF format), download filtered strings (in XLIFF format), or download all files for a specific language (in original or XLIFF format). This can be done via the Editor or the language page.

In case you are using any CAT tools (Computer-Assisted Translation), it is more convenient to have the file in XLIFF format.

1.1. Download a single file via the Editor

To download a single file to translate offline, follow these steps:

• Open the necessary file in the Editor.
• Click on the menu in the top left corner.
• In the File menu, select Download or Export in XLIFF.

1.2. Download a Single File via Language Page

• Open your project and select a language.
• Click on the 3-dots icon next to the percentage of the status bar of a specific file.
• Select Download or Export in XLIFF.

1.3. Download All Files for a Specific Language

To download all the project files for a specific language, follow these steps:

1. Go to the language page and make sure you have the console interface. Otherwise click on the Go to console button in the top right corner.

2. Your Workspace will show with the projects you are working on. (screenshot below)


3. Click on VIEW PROJECT →

4. You are redirected to the Project page with an overview of all the languages that need translations.

5. Click on the language you want translate → you are redirected the Language page

On the Language page there are 2 ways to download all the files:

• Click on DOWNLOAD button. All files and strings will be downloaded in a zip format.
• Click on the 3-dots icon next to the percentage of the status bar of a specific file. Select Download or Export as XLIFF.

Using the Download option, you will get a ZIP archive with all the project files containing translations in an original format. The Download option is useful in case you want to test the product’s localized version.

Using Export in XLIFF, you will get all the source strings and completed translations in a single XLIFF file. This way is more convenient, as it doesn’t require opening each file separately to translate. XLIFF files are supported by the majority of desktop localization tools.

1.4. Download Filtered Strings in XLIFF

There are cases when it’s necessary to download strings based on some specific criteria. For example, you might want to download strings translated by some specific project member, or only untranslated strings, or only strings with comments.

To download filtered strings, follow these steps:

• Open the necessary file in the Editor
• Filter strings based on some specific criteria.
• Click on the focus menu in the top left corner.
• Go to File and select Export Filtered in XLIFF
