6.5.3.5.1. Translation Workflow Configuration

This section describes general configuration options for translation workflows.

XLIFF

The handling of empty translation units during XLIFF import can be configured using the following properties:

Property Name Description Default Value
translate.xliff.import.emptyTransUnitMode

Configure handling of empty trans-unit targets for XLIFF import. Possible values:

  • IGNORE: Empty targets are allowed. On import the empty translation unit will replace a possibly non-empty target and thus delete its contents.

    FORBIDDEN: No empty targets are allowed

    IGNORE_WHITESPACE: Empty targets are only allowed where the matching source is empty or contains only whitespace characters

IGNORE_WHITESPACE
translate.xliff.import.ignorableWhitespaceRegex

Configure the regular expression that determines which characters are counted as ignorable whitespace. This configuration is only used when translate.xliff.import.emptyTransUnitMode is set toIGNORE_WHITESPACE.
