Download options

  • Download file to translate: The generated translation files will include the already translated strings and the untranslated ones will be commented out and filled with the corresponding source entries.

  • Download for use: The generated translation files will include the already translated strings, and the untranslated ones will be filled with the corresponding source entries - they won't be commented out.

  • Download only reviewed translations: The generated translation files will include the reviewed translations, and the unreviewed entries will be commented out and filled with the corresponding source entries.

  • Download for translation as XLIFF: The translation file will be downloaded in the .xliff format and include both translated and untranslated strings. The last ones will be returned without having target elements.

  • Download untranslated strings as XLIFF: The translation file will be downloaded in the .xliff format and include only the untranslated strings.


Parser behavior

The following table outlines what occurs to strings when using the API, CLI, or UI to manipulate translation files depending on download mode.

*The results are compatible with parser version 1.


Default placeholders

These are the default placeholders that you could have in your file, and they will be recognized :

match: ['%1$s', '%(key1)s', '%s', '%d', '%.2f', '%-5d', '%+2d']
