XlateDiff.xsl — Checks an XML document against an existing translation in the specified language and generates a new XLIFF file containing the strings which are new or changed.
(Language | Xliff)
Language
(string) — ISO language code
Xliff
(URI) — The URI of the XLIFF file you want to compare
An XML document. You must mark up the source document with:
The xlf:id
attributes which uniquely identify each translation string.
Optionally, translation metadata, showing the location of the XLIFF files which contain the translations of the document — this is only required if you are not specifying the Xliff
parameter explicitly.
An XLIFF document.
The stylesheet examines the source file for translatable elements. (A translatable element is one which has an xlf:id
attribute and does not have the its:translate='no'
attribute.)
For each translatable element, the stylesheet looks for the specified XLIFF file, or if not specified, the XLIFF file that corresponds to the specified output language, according to the translation metadata.
If the XLIFF file is found, the stylesheet searches for the translation unit with the same xlf:id
, and compares its source with the translatable element in the source document.
If the corresponding translation unit does not exist in the XLIFF file, a new translation unit is written to the output document which contains this translatable element as its source.
If the corresponding translation unit exists in the XLIFF file, but its source is different from the translatable element in the source document, a translation unit is written to the output document which contains this translatable element as its source and the target text from the original XLIFF file as its target.
If the corresponding translation unit exists in the XLIFF file, and its source is the same as the translatable element in the source document, and the target is empty or marked as incomplete, the translation unit is copied from the original XLIFF file to the output document.
If the corresponding translation unit exists in the XLIFF file, and its source is the same as the translatable element in the source document, and the target is not empty or marked as incomplete, there is no output.
If the XLIFF file is not found, there is no output.
In the output file, all trans-unit
elements are contained in a single, flat file
element. Any multiple file
or group
elements from the original XLIFF file are not copied to the output file.
