Angular XLF parser

  • Parser ID: angular_xlf2.

  • Key features:

    • Auto-encoding. The Angular XLF parser supports UTF-8 encoding with or without BOM. The generated target files will have the same encoding as the source file.

    • Specify keys within objects that are to be used as string identifiers (keyPatterns).

    • Specify an exclusive list of keys that must be translated (selectKeys).

    • Specify a list of keys that must be ignored (skipKeys).

    • Specify a list of texts that must be ignored (skipSource).

    • Specify the field that represents the locale (selectLocale).

Parser settings

  • unixNewline

    When set, the parser will generate a Unix newline (\n). Otherwise, it will generate a Windows newline (\r\n).

  • generatebilingualxliff

    This setting is used in very specific cases. When deselected, the parser generates a monolingual XLF file with only the source texts.

  • includefileoriginal/ filenameonly

    If the includefileoriginal is selected, then the content of the file>@original attribute will become part of the stringID. If you would like to use the file name rather than the file path, then select filenameOnly.

  • flattenXml

    When set, this setting writes characters as entities:

    • '<' as '&lt;'.

    • '>' as '&gt;'.

    • '&' as '&amp;'.

  • trim

    When set, this setting removes spaces at the beginning and end of strings during reading and writing.

  • write-status-untranslated / write-status-translated / write-status-reviewed / write-status-validated

    Specifies the state value that will be written in the generated trans-unit > target elements. If you leave these settings empty, the following default states will be written in the generated file:

    • Untranslated → needs-translation.

    • Translated → needs-review-translation.

    • Reviewed → signed-off.

    • Validated → final.

    write-status-translated-reviewed (Deprecated since version 2.12)

    Until version 2.11, it was impossible to write different state values for Translated or Reviewed strings separately. The same single setting (write-status-translated-reviewed) specified which value should be written. If it was empty, the default value (needs-review-translation) was written. This setting is no longer in use.

    Warning

    If the legacy setting write-status-translated-reviewed is not empty, the write-status-translated and write-status-reviewed settings are ignored, and the value from write-status-translated-reviewed is used instead.

  • write-status-pseudo

    Specifies the state value that will be written in the trans-unit > target elements in the Rigi tokenized files. If you leave this setting empty, the following default state will be written: final.

  • langOnly

    Writes the language code without the locale. For example, if this setting is selected, it will write only 'de' instead 'de-DE' language code. By default, this setting is deselected.
