How XTM Connect – Jira handles project creation

XTM Connect – Jira handles project creation in particular ways, described in this table:

Feature

Description

Project names

XTM Connect – Jira names projects in XTM Cloud after their Jira issue name.

Files selected for translation

XTM Connect - Jira will fetch any files attached to Jira issues by Jira users for translation. They can be:

  • new content

  • new versions of translated files

  • something else

Warning

In such cases, the translated content, together with comments or any other modifications, will be taken for another round of translation in which the previously translated text will be treated as the source text.

As a result, a new project will be created, in which the source text does not match the language combination. There will also be no TM matches.

If that happens, remove the project from XTM Cloud manually to prevent unnecessary work and the creation of invalid entries in a translation memory.

This includes files with comments added to translations returned to Jira by XTM Connect – Jira.
