    XTM Cloud automatically deletes old target and preview files from projects. For each file type, it checks the number of generated files. If the number of generated files of the relevant type exceeds the predefined limit, it removes the oldest files. By default, the oldest files are removed, if:

    • more than 10 files of the same type have been generated.

    • more than 3 files of the same type have been generated, and their total size is greater than 100MB.

    The limit can be changed at the client’s request.

You can only generate a TIPP file for all files assigned to you, in the relevant project and for the relevant target language. After you have generated the TIPP file, the offline translation generation options are locked. To unlock them, upload the translated TIPP file. Alternatively, select the unlock icon .

    • Generate XLIFF – Select this option to generate an XLIFF standard 1.2-compliant XLIFF file for the workflow step which has been assigned to you. In the Generate XLIFF popup, specify if the target segments which have not yet been translated are to be populated with the source content, and select Generate.

    • Upload XLIFF – Select this option to upload an XLIFF file. For details of how to do so, see Uploading XLIFF and multi XLIFF files in the Project – Files popup screen.

      Note

      If required, you can set specific target segments to locked or unlocked, in XTM Workbench, when the XLIFF file is uploaded to XTM Cloud. To do so, in the XLIFF file, in the relevant <target> segment(s), enter an appropriate attribute value, as described below:

      • Locking segments

        Example 49. Attributes used for segment locking

        To lock the specific segment(s), enter an xtm:locked attribute with one of these valid values: "yes", "true", or "y". Example: <trans-unit><target xtm:locked="yes">.

        These values are NOT case-sensitive.

        
        

        When you lock a segment, in addition to the xtm:locked attribute, you will also see the xtm:lockedat attribute in the XLIFF file. This additional attribute indicates when the relevant segment has been locked, specifying the time and date.

        All XTM Workbench users will see the relevant segment(s) as locked. When they hover over the locked icon , they will see which user locked the segment. This information depends on the settings made by your XTM Cloud Administrator (for details, see Privacy settings).

        Users who have been granted the relevant access rights by their XTM Cloud Administrator or Project Managers can unlock these segments in XTM Workbench. To grant these access rights to a particular user, for the Segment locking rights setting, select either the Lock and unlock or Unlock only option. For details, see Adding user access rights.

      • Unlocking segments

        Example 50. Attributes used for segment unlocking

        To unlock the specific segment(s), enter an xtm:locked attribute with the value "no", "false", or "n". Example: <trans-unit><target xtm:locked="no">.

        These values are NOT case-sensitive.

        
        

        In this way, you can unlock segments that have previously been locked:

        • by a user in XTM Workbench. If they have been granted the necessary rights, users can lock a segment by right-clicking on it in XTM Workbench. For details, see Segment options.

        • by a user in the XLIFF offline file, which has then been imported back into XTM Cloud (see "Locking segments" above).

        • automatically due to the Mark segments as locked when setting being enabled during project creation (for details, see Creating a project: Settings) or in the Project Editor (for details, see Project Editor – General info: General info).

        When you unlock segments in this way, users will see them as unlocked in XTM Workbench.

        You cannot use the xtm:locked attribute to unlock ICE matched segments if the Allow editing of ICE segments setting has been disabled during project creation (for details, see Creating a project: Settings) or in the Project Editor (for details, see Project Editor – General info: General info).

    • Upload multi XLIFF – Select this option to upload a multi XLIFF file. For details of how to do so, see Uploading XLIFF and multi XLIFF files in the Project – Files popup screen.
