Settings
Status Categories• Select the background colour used to represent different match values• If you are exporting to Excel then you can also choose to lock cells with a particular match
value• You can also choose to export a selection only. This is useful for spell and grammar
checking a large document so you don’t have to waste time going through exact matches
Comments• Choose whether or not you wish to include comments from the SDLXLIFF
in the exported file• Excel format will create an additional column with the comments• DOCX will place the comments into the Microsoft Word commenting
balloons• NOTE: If you don’t extract comments and there were comments in the
SDLXLIFF, then when you import the file the comments in the SDLXLIFF will be removed

Prefix• The value entered here will be appended to the
exported files• The value entered here will also be used for the
‘Automatch’ feature when importing reviewed files. This allows for versioning of the translated and reviewed files
Conversion types• Choose whether you wish to export the files as Excel,
DOCX or XML• Excel files can make use of locked segments and
different column widths on export• Excel files CANNOT be imported• DOCX files can be imported after review• DOCX files can be exported as two columns
(Side-by-Side) or in a source over target view (Top-down)
• XML is useful where the content is used within an online reviewing tool for example

Settings cont’d…
Updated segment status• If you choose to tick this option all segments imported will be
given the status selected in Studio• Note: You do not have to import the entire file. You can delete as
many segments as like (always source and target) and this will ensure that deleted segments retain their original status in the SDLXLIFF. This is particularly useful when you only export the segments you wish to check and then import then back with a different status.

Import single files
Exported Translated file• The exported DOCX looks like this
• Segments numbers against each matching source and target pair
• Segment Status of each segment in the SegmentID column
Reviewed file• I deleted the first segment because I was happy with it and wanted to change the
status of only amended segments on import• I changed “zwei” to “drei” and added a comment in word to clarify this• I saved the file in the same folder but renamed it with a “reviewed_” prefix so as
not to lose the original• I also changed the settings prefix to read “reviewed_” instead of “translated_”
