XLIFF import problem
« on: March 12, 2015, 09:13:19 pm »
I have just installed diction 1.4.1 on a joomla 3.4 website. "Manual" translation works fine. However, I need to translate the website with a CAT tool using the xliff export. They xliff export works fine but when I try to import the translated xliff file I get 0 translations imported. They same happens when exporting and importing a csv file.
I'd be very glad if you could help me with that.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Harald,
Did you already find out about that mistake/behaviour? I have to localize a Joomla 3.4 website into four languages soon and would really like to use jDiction as it is the only Joomla plugin (that I know) that supports XLIFF/CSV export and import for using professional CAT tools in the translation process (which is essential for me).
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Marcel

Hi both,

I have the same problem here. I have a dutch website and created two languages NL and EN. Exported the NL to XLIFF and had that translated. Now when i try to import the EN translation it says 0 translations found...

Attached you can find the translated XLIFF file, maybe something is wrong with that?

Joomla 2.5.19 & JDiction 1.3.2

Grtz, Mark

Ok, now I got time to test it and it worked for csv and xlf....

What I have done was to install Joomla, install jdiction, create a article, export jdiction with 'com_content' filter, changed it by hand, imported it and checked if the translation was there...

So csv should work.

On XLF you have to check if the translation tool set the target-tag to "translated".

Here is the example:

Code: [Select]
<xliff version='1.2' xmlns='urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2'>
<file original='84e82d5cfbf593a3e66580e648a70a09' source-language='en-GB' target-language='de-DE' datatype='htmlbody' product-name='jDiction' product-version='1.4.1'>
<body>
<trans-unit id='1.com_content.article.edit.title'>
<source><![CDATA[123]]></source>
<target state='translated'><![CDATA[ggg]]></target>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id='1.com_content.article.edit.introtext'>
<source><![CDATA[<p>123</p>]]></source>
<target state='translated'><![CDATA[<p>hhh</p>]]></target>
</trans-unit>
</body>
</file>
</xliff>
maybe your translation tool don't change this value. Could you check the source file

Hi Harald,

Thanks for your reply. I've been puzzling for hours now and trying to import little segments of the XLF file. I corrected the target state to 'translated' but still no go :(

I have a working and non-working file:

I can't find a difference between the two, do you have any idea?! The only thing i can't check is if the original attribute in the file element is correct. Can i check this somewhere in the Joomla database or is it generated by jDiction itself? Is it used in any way?

Hi Harald, do you have time to look at my import problem? I have to do 7 languages, so I really hope to get this thing working. Otherwise it would be a lot of copy/pasting for me :(

I think I have found the problem, the files have to be UTF8 encoded.

After I converted the notworking part it worked for me.

Hi Harald, i tried it today and i came a lot further. The trick was to save the file in UTF8 format. But still a lot of translations didn't import, did probably has to do with the file itself.

Thank you for your help!
