Processing of XML files
By default, entire new or modified XML files are used as source files for the translation project.
Optimized processing, so called incremental processing, of XML files is possible, but it must be enabled by XTM Support.
In this procedure, firstly, the project with all files existing in the source repository is created. Then, after there are changes in some nodes in the source file, the files are compared and only changed nodes are used to create the new project. In other words, during project creation, XML strings that have been added or modified are extracted from the files and joined together into a single source file. When translation is complete, the translated strings are returned to the files they were taken from. As a result, files can be processed much more quickly.
However, this method has some limitations:
It cannot be used with continuous projects because it requires new project to be created for each update.
This method only works with automatic project creation.
To request the enabling of optimized processing of XML files, contact XTM Support.
