Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a few problems with xliff files.
A client sent me some .xlf files and I translated them using dvx2 in normal fashion with its built-in filter. However, the exported file, although still in .xlf, are rejected by client's Ektron CMS from which the source xliff files were originally generated.

My questions are:

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a few problems with xliff files.
A client sent me some .xlf files and I translated them using dvx2 in normal fashion with its built-in filter. However, the exported file, although still in .xlf, are rejected by client's Ektron CMS from which the source xliff files were originally generated.

My questions are:
(1) is there a special way to import .xlf files into a DVX2 project?
(2) do I need to ask client for a schema file to create my own XML filter?
(3) any particular requirements when exporting DVX2 project?

As well, when I opened a dvx-translated file in notepad, the first line shows:



and through-out file, dvx2 seems to have added this attribute:




Swordfish also indicates the dvx exported .xlf file is not a valid xliff file.

I am asking Atril for support but in the mean time if anyone here has any suggestion, it will be greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance

Ray

xliff namespace Mar 1, 2013

Selected file is not valid XLIFF.

"namespace" seems to be a plausible cause of this issue. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks
