IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1

About XLIFF

To enable users to view user-authored items, such as step responses, field names, and milestone names, in the language of their current locale, you can use Process Configuration Console to export an XLIFF 1.1 file containing user-authored names to be translated into a target language. This feature is available for FileNet® P8 applications only.

XLIFF is an XML-based file format that provides a standard format for data to be localized into a target language. By using a translation application that supports XLIFF 1.1, globalization engineers can translate the items in each file for the specific language and deploy the localized files on the client server.

Important: To reduce the incidence of syntax errors in the translated file, use an XLIFF translation application to translate the file, rather than a text editor. After you have translated the file, use the Verify XLIFF file option in Process Configuration Console to check the file for errors.

An exported XLIFF file contains the following globalization properties:

Workflow names (work class name)
Roster names
Queue name
Milestone names
Step names
Step instructions
Step parameter names
Step responses
Field names (user-define data fields, system fields, attachments, workflow groups, XML data fields)
