L10n Expert: Does It Fully Support XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0 Standards?
“XLIFF is the industry standard for translation interchange, containing complex metadata such as translation status (New/Translated/Approved); improper handling can compromise workflows.”
Root Cause Analysis
Version Compatibility (1.2 vs 2.0)
Shangyi AI offers comprehensive support for the widely adopted XLIFF 1.2 (`<trans-unit>` structure) and the more modern 2.0 (`<unit>` structure). The system automatically detects the version and applies the corresponding parsing strategy, eliminating the need for user conversion.
State Attribute Management
During translation, the AI automatically updates the `state` attribute from `new` to `translated`. If the Post-Editing (PE) feature is used, the state will be further marked as `signed-off` or `approved`, facilitating subsequent import into CAT tools for workflow management.
Skeleton File Protection
The core principle of XLIFF translation is 'separation of source and target while preserving the skeleton.'Shangyi AI strictly protects the `<header>` section and embedded skeleton data, ensuring the translated XLIFF can be seamlessly reintegrated into the source system (such as a CMS) for reconstruction of the original file.
