Re: [xliff-users] XLIFF 2.0 examples for writing test cases

Hi all,

I have another question regarding XLIFF 2.0 creation. I want to provide conversion to/from XLIFF as a component of a prototype CAT tool. The goal is to hook in to the Okapi API to convert to/from the user's format (i.e. DOCX --> XLIFF --> DOCX). It's really important to be able to go back to the user's original format after translation has finished.

Could someone point me to the place(s) in the Okapi source code where I should hook in?

Thanks very much for the help!

Cheers,

Chris

You can create "real" XLIFF2 files using Okapi Rainbow.
Follow the steps listed here:
http://www.opentag.com/okapi/wiki/index.php?title=Rainbow_TKit_-_XLIFF_2.0

You should be able to create XLIFF2 files from a wide variety of documents: HTML, DOCX, PO, ODT, etc.

Make sure you use the latest version (currently M26):
https://bintray.com/okapi/Distribution/Okapi_Applications/view

The tool uses this library:
https://code.google.com/p/okapi-xliff-toolkit/

If you are using Java, it may save you some time.
There is a Getting started guide here:
https://code.google.com/p/okapi-xliff-toolkit/wiki/Getting_Started

You have also an on-line validator here:

I hope this helps,
