Description

Preview URL

HTML preview URL

PDF preview URL

Insert the URL of an external system with which Linguists will be able to preview the source file while working on the translation.

Use the three fields to specify a URL in the form http://your_server.com or https://your_server.com. To activate this feature, you need to create a service with the capability to process content on the basis of parameters sent by XTM Cloud.

XTM Cloud automatically sends the following parameters to the service:

  • fileName.

  • srcLang.

  • tgtLang.

  • projectName.

  • projectId.

The fileName is composed of the file path + file name. If the source file has been uploaded as one or more single files, the fileName will simply be the file name. If, however, the source file has been uploaded as a .zip file, containing a number of files, in a directory structure, the fileName is composed of the file path plus the file name.
