Enter the URL of an external system that will enable linguists to preview the source file while working on the translation.

The 3 fields enable you to enter a URL in the form of http://your_server.com or https://your_server.com To activate this feature you need to create a service with the capability to serve content based on parameters sent by XTM.

XTM automatically sends the following parameters to the service:

  • fileName

  • srcLang

  • tgtLang

  • projectName

  • projectId

The fileName is composed of the file path + file name. If the source file was uploaded as one or more single files then the fileName will simply be the file name. If however the source file was uploaded as a number of files in a directory structure as a zip file, then the fileName is composed of the file path plus the file name.
