The tool is brilliant, but could you add memoQ xliff variant too?
ReplyDeleteCould you send a few sample memoQ xliffs to capybara.translation@gmail.com as I am not a memoQ user?
ReplyDeleteI've been really busy since the beginning of this year and will continue to be busy for at least next two months, so please be patient until I get around to working on the next release...
This tool is a gem! Any chance that it could be expanded to edit the xliffs as well? This would allow to make a quick fix in a file without opening it in Trados.
ReplyDeleteHi, harubaru
ReplyDeleteThis app, as its name suggests, is dedicated to viewing the contents of bilingual files. While it would be possible to expand the app to edit only normal xliff (*.xlf/xliff), it is quite difficult to edit sdlxliff or ttx without using Trados API. Doing so could damage the files.
But I'm considering developing a quick editor that limits its supported format to sdlxliff, using Studio's API.
Hi Junya,
DeleteThanks so much for your reply! One thing that is great with the current app is that Trados is not required on the machine to view SDLXLIFF files. I assume that if you use the Studio API for the quick editor it would not work on a machine without Studio installed, correct? Sometimes I just need to make a quick edit in some SDLXLIFF files and end up opening them in Notepad++. It is for this kind of "text" edits that I would welcome such a feature. But I completely understand your point about the risk of corrupting the SDLXLIFF files that way.
It actually previews MemoQ xlf files, so no worries. Great application.
ReplyDeletethanks a lot for this tool
ReplyDeleteI use memoQ for Studio files and now I can do a final check to be sure the export file is fine
Hi Junya,
ReplyDeleteIs there any news on supporting XLIFF 1.0?
Best regards,
Daniel McCosh
