how do I convert sdlxliff back to XML? Thread poster: Manuela Junghans

Hi everyone, I´ve been asked by a client to work in an online CAT-Tool I did not particularly like. So the other option was to download an xliff, translate it in Trados and then upload it back to their CAT-Tool. On downloading it was automatically converted to XML, and importing it into Trados went smoothly. So now I want to upload it back. But how do I convert the Trados-specific sdlxliff back to XML? Thanks for any help. Manuela | | | Samuel Murray Netherlands Local time: 11:16 Member (2006) English to Afrikaans + ... Generate target translations | May 2, 2022 |

Many thanks for your lightning-fast and very helpful reply. It worked - so easy, if you know how Manuela | | | Oriol Vives (X) Spain Local time: 11:16 English to Catalan + ... There is quite the number of posts open with this same question | May 6, 2022 |
Didn't you see/check the other forums before posting? I think you just violated the site's rules. On a side note, you can't do it if the file was initially a sdlxliff, and Trados usually generates a file with the same format. If you got an xliff, then you can produce either an xliff or a sdlxliff, but you can't go from sdlxliff to xliff; it's just not possible. Either do what Samuel said (export or generate), or "save as" and choose the right file extension.

I don't think asking a question that may have been asked previously contravenes any forum rules. The rule "Do not post the same topic multiple times or to multiple forums" relates to posting in multiple subforums simultaneously. Either do what Samuel said (export or generate), or "Save as" and choose the right file extension. I don't have "Save as" in my Trados, but I do have File > "Save Target As" (if that is what you mean). One can also press Shift+F12. But as far as I know, you can't choose a file extension -- the file is always saved with its original file extension.
