The deprecated interface com.coremedia.translate.xliff.exporter.XliffExporter (cap-xliff) and its related interfaces and classes have been removed.

Use the refactored, more flexible com.coremedia.cap.translate.xliff.XliffExporter instead.

Changes in detail:

The following classes/interfaces have been removed:

Ease Upgrade

Some classes and interfaces have been extended, to provide the same behavior as the now removed, previously deprecated XliffExporter.

The interface ContentToTranslateItemTransformer, which is required as intermediate step to transform contents (master and derived) to translate-items accepted by the current XliffExporter, has been extended by using a default locale mapper, by introducing the following default methods:

This default is the same as it has been used by the removed XliffExporter.

The XliffExportOptions have been extended to provide a way to specify a default comment to apply to all translate items, which don't have a comment yet (added to XLIFF as <note>). See XliffExportOptions.DefaultCommentOption and its usages for details. This simulates the same behavior as the removed XliffExporter, where you could hand over a comment on XLIFF export – and which also got applied to all translate items, and thus to all XLIFF <file> entries.

And to ease, having a base set of options to modify for example by a new default comment, XliffExportOptions now provides a method builder() to create a derived set of options from the original one.

Typical Replacement

A typical replacement for the old XliffExporter is similar to this:

XliffExportOptions xliffExportOptions = XliffExportOptions.xliffExportOptions()
          .option(XliffExportOptions.TargetOption.TARGET_EMPTY)
          .option(XliffExportOptions.DefaultCommentOption.of("default comment"))
          .build();
List<TranslateItem> items = contentToTranslateItemTransformer
         .transform(masterContentObjects, derivedContents, TransformStrategy.ITEM_PER_TARGET)
         .collect(toList());

Xliff xliff = xliffExporter.exportXliff(items, xliffExportOptions);

For details, see section XLIFF Integration in Blueprint Developer Manual and corresponding JavaDoc.

Replacing setXliffExportElementFilter

The former XliffExporter provided a method for filtering contents, which shall not be added to the XLIFF: setXliffExportElementFilter.

In general, such filtering should happen when creating the TranslateItem instances (this is a so-called pre-processing stage). For details, see XLIFF Export in Blueprint Developer Manual (subsection of XLIFF Integration).

Nevertheless, in contexts, where you cannot directly influence the creation of translate items, a fallback exists for the new XliffExporter: setTranslateItemFilter. This applies for example to the default XLIFF download as provided in CoreMedia Studio. If you require more details about the involved contents, you may want to replace the ContentToTranslateItemTransformer instead, which defaults to DefaultContentToTranslateItemTransformer.

If it is about not repeating translation for unchanged properties, you may want to set translate.item.include-unchanged-properties to false, which will be taken into account when generating the translate-items.
