Sage People lets you export three different types of translation files. You can export these into two different file formats from the Translation Workbench.
The Setup Component and Date Filters let you limit the number of items in the file you export. For example, if you have new picklist values, you can select Picklist Value as the Setup Component. Then you can set the Date Filter in line with when you made the change. Or, you can translate new labels in a release to a language Sage People doesn't supply. Just select all Setup Components and restrict the date range.
Both the Setup component and Date Filters default to All.
The export file types serve different purposes:
| Export file type | Description |
|---|---|
| Source |
Contains the default source language labels. For Sage People, the source language is US English. Use this file as a basis for translating into a new language Sage People doesn't supply. |
| Outdated and untranslated |
Contains labels where:
Use this file to add translations for new labels you introduced after implementing the initial translation. |
| Bilingual |
Contains both the source and translation versions of each label. Use this file to identify where you use a translation. |
You have the choice between two file formats for each of the export file types:
| File format | Description |
|---|---|
| STF |
Salesforce Translation File. A UTF-8 encoded plain text file where each line contains one label and its key. In bilingual files each line contains the key, source and translation. For more information, see Salesforce Translation File (STF) Structure. |
| XLIFF |
XML Localization Interchange File Format. An XML file that localization software supports. The XLIFF file provides some metadata on the labels, including the maximum length and notes, if available. For more information, see Salesforce XLIFF File Structure. |
