Hi I am currently working with Translation Workspace XLIFF Editor and encountered some issues in it. First of all, can anyone help me find if it is possible to just filter the translatable segments of a job, just see the translatable segments and then export them to excel or word? How is it possible to change the view of the software? Thanks.

• 1. a Computer Aided Translation [CAT] tool. It is an advanced productivity solution for providers of translation and localization services. It is a Software-as-a-Service [SaaS]-based application for creating and delivering translation projects. Translation Workspace is Internet-based, allowing remote access from anywhere and at any time using any means of data communication. For translators and editors using the Translation Workspace translation client [the Microsoft Office Word plug-in or Translation Workspace XLIFF Editor] that enables you to translate your documents interactively on the Translation Workspace server What is the Translation Workspace? Microsoft Word Plug-in • For translating Microsoft Word & Rich Text Format files • For more information, refer to the "Microsoft Word Plug-in" training XLIFF Editor • For translating tagged file formats • For more information, refer to the "XLIFF Editor" training
• 2. Workspace Client – MS Word Plug-in  The Microsoft Word Plug-in is compatible with several versions of Microsoft Word, including 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and 2010  The Word Plug-in provides a working environment that is familiar for most professional translators  Microsoft Word plug-in and Translation Workspace Tools client [3.17 MB] Version: 3.11.7 //translate.translationworkspace.com/sid/621bd83971ac4412/TranslationWorkspace.exe After downloading the Microsoft Word Plug-in, simply accept the defaults offered by the installation wizard to get started. System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 2000 / XP / Vista [32 and 64 bits] / Windows 7, Microsoft Word 2000 / 2002 / 2003 / 2007 / 2010 [32 bits]
• 3. Workspace Client – MS Word Plug-in Open the .doc, .docx, or Translation Workspace RTF file you are going to translate. The Translation Workspace functions will be in the ribbon accessed by clicking Translation Workspace in the Word 2007 & 2010 toolbar: If you are using Word 2003, you have a toolbar and menu of commands:

• 9. Workspace Client – MS Word Plug-in Step 1: Login to Translation Workspace by connecting to the server using the “Connect icon Step 2: Enter your Username, Password, Tenancy, and Server Address. Username, password and Tenancy would have been shared by Edisense in a separate email. Server address will always be [translate.translationworkspace.com] Step 3: After login, you are presented with a list of Translation Memories. You will require to select the TM name provided by Edisense from the list Step 4: Next, you must select the Target Language. Source language will automatically be selected. To start using MS Word plug-in of Translation workspace, please follow the steps mentioned below.
• 10. Workspace Client – MS Word Plug-in  To start translating the document, in your opened document, place your cursor in the first "segment" or in the segment that you want to translate. Select Open segment from the Translation Workspace > Translation menu or press Alt+Home. This will make your segment "active" or enabled for translation. While opening the segment, Translation Workspace will search your TM for re-usable translations and will present those in the active segment.  When you open a segment, the Translation Workspace client displays helpful information along with the match source. It gives a percentage indicating how close a match it found, the TM, user, and date the match was stored in the TM.  The segment display is separated in three fields:  The first field displays status information and the source text of the found match.  The second field displays the source text [the text to translate].  The third field displays the found translation for the source text, or nothing if no translation was found. You type your translation or modification of a found match in the third field.
• 11. Workspace Client – MS Word Plug-in In the example shared, the found match was a 101% match, and the target field is bounded by green, which is used for 100% or higher matches. The status information in the first field is composed of: Field Description 101% The match percentage of the best match found 61% The match percentage of the next best match found Working_Memory The name of the translation memory where the match was found jdoe The name of the translator that created the translation 12/8/2009 The date when the translation was created [at your local time] In case of a fuzzy match, the segment may be displayed as follows: The match percentage of the top match is 97% [with a 2% penalty] and the differences between the current source sentence and the source of the found match are highlighted in yellow. In this case, the only differences are that the match found has an uppercase "T" in "Terminology" and "glossaries" is plural. The target field is bounded by red, which is used for fuzzy matches [and no match]. In some cases, your project manager or administrator might have added descriptive information for a translation memory. This information is displayed in the status line [at the bottom] of the Word window. In case of a linked background memory, for example you may find text like "Take care, not yet proofread" or similar.
• 12. Workspace Client – MS Word Plug-in  Reopened Segments When you reopen a segment, the target text color will depend on whether or not you store the segment to the TM.  Reopen, Close, Don't Save If you reopen an existing segment and close it without storing it to the TM [that is, you use the Close segment, don't save button]:  The Exact match color is reapplied when the segment was initially a 100% match.  The Fuzzy match color is reapplied when the segment was initially a fuzzy match or a no match. Translation Workspace considers that, since this segment is not stored in the TM, it is not deemed final by the translator, hence still subject to possible later review.  Reopen, Store and Close If you reopen an existing segment and store it to the TM, then the color of the segment changes. Several buttons and shortcuts exist for this:  The Store and Close button [both on the toolbar and in the Translation menu]  The Store, Close and Open Next Segment button [both on the toolbar and in the Translation menu]  The Store, Close and Open Next Non-100% Match button [both on the toolbar and in the Translation menu] In all cases, the target segment color is changed to the color of 100% matches: the segment is considered as reviewed. The match percentage does not change.
• 13. Workspace Client – MS Word Plug-in  Concordance Search When no match is suggested upon opening a new segment, you can still perform a manual search on [part of] your sentence in the TM. To do so, click the Concordance icon on the Translation Workspace ribbon. It Displays the concordance search window for the currently active TM and language direction. If you place your cursor on a word, then click the Concordance icon, the Concordance Search window appears with all the segments in the TM that contain the word. You can also select multiple words, and the result set will include the matches of all the words in sequence at the top, and also segments containing all the words but not in sequence, and finally segments that contain only a subset of the words. Concordance displays the concordance search window for the currently active TM and language direction, and the TMs that are linked to the active TM as background TMs. The word that is placed below the cursor is initially searched, or a selection of words, if document text is selected. The Concordance search will search also any background TMs and TM aliases that have the Search Only option set for the link.

The second box contains the source segment from the document being translated. 3. The third box contains the target segment found in the TM. To navigate through the available segments, use Get Next Match [Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow], and Get Previous Match [Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Left Arrow]. Differences between the segment in the document and the TM are highlighted.

Use the Clean to Target Language command: In addition to making your bilingual file monolingual—that is, having only target segments—your translations are stored to the TM.
• 22. XLIFF? Why use it? XML Localization Interchange File Format [XLIFF] is a tool neutral, XML-based format used to store extracted translatable text. It is a standard developed specifically for the localization process: • Separates translatable text from formatting to allow translators to focus on the text to be translated • Enables control over what gets translated, and over information flow [developer notes, string properties, etc.] • Enables translation work using multiple localization tools and reduces dependency on specific tools Highlights • Ideal for translation of tag-based formats [HTML, XML, DOCX, etc.] because tags are protected • Integrated with Translation Workspaces Translation Memories [TMs] and Glossaries • Configurable user interface

For more information on Segment State and Qualifier values, refer to the "Toolbars" topic in the XLIFF Editor Help system. The Segment State Toolbar also indicates if a segment needs translation or if it has been approved: • Translate: Indicates whether or not the selected text should be translated. When selected, the segment can be modified. When deselected, the segment is locked from editing. • Approved: Indicates if a translation has passed final review. When selected, the segment is locked from editing. When deselected, the segment can be modified.
• 38. XLIFF Editor Opening files Select "Files > Open" to open a file to be translated, or drag and drop files into the XLIFF Editor document display area. • Files can be opened before or after establishing a connection to the Translation Workspace server. • If the file does not include any opened and saved segments, you will be prompted to select the target language: Type in the first few letters of the target language code to jump to it in the dropdown menu. • You may need to process a source file into a translatable XLIFF or RTF format before beginning translation work. For more information on pre-processing, refer to the "Introduction to File Pre- and Post-Processing" training.

This process creates the final deliverable, and is also known as Back Converting. For more information on back converting, refer to the "Introduction to File Pre- and Post-Processing" training.
• 41. XLIFF Editor Understanding Match Rates During translation, the match rate from the TM is displayed in the Segment View when a segment is opened for editing. If background TMs are in use, the match rate will show the premium or penalty applied, along with the relative match rate and the name of the TM in which the segment appears. When multiple matches are available, the relative match rate of the previous and next available match[es] are shown. 93% UI_Project_TM1 jdoe 2009-12-28 04:40:22 Match rate User [or tenant] Date and TimeReferenced TM 93+3% 88%> UI_Legacy_TM1 jdoe 2009-12-28 04:40:22 93-5% UI_Legacy_TM2 jdoe 2009-12-28 04:40:22 Previous available match Next available match
• 42. XLIFF Editor Common Translation Functions Conduct common translation functions using the Translation Toolbar: • Open segment: Opens the selected segment for editing. • Translate to next non 100% match: Translates all segments for which the TM offers a 100% match, starting from the current cursor position. Then, the first segment with a non 100% match is opened. • Store, close and open next untranslated segment: Stores the translated segment to the TM, closes the segment, then opens the next untranslated segment. • Store and close segment: Stores the translated segment to the TM, then closes the segment. • Close segment and delete translation: Closes the currently open segment and deletes the translation entered. • Close segment, but don’t store in TM: Stores the translated segment locally in the document, then closes the segment without storing it to the TM. • Cancel changes and close segment: Closes the segment and returns it to the status prior to opening.
