Adding New File Formats

Microsoft Office 2010 and Adobe InDesign CS5

GlobalSight now supports Microsoft Office 2010 (DOCX/XLSX/PPTX) and Adobe InDesign CS5 (IDML) file formats. Both are pure-Java implementations that do not need external converters to run, unlike previous Office and InDesign support.

Microsoft Office 2010 formats:

• The new Source File Format Office 2010 document now supports Microsoft Office 2010 Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents
• The File Extensions available are docx, xlsx and pptx
• You can include all three extensions in one File Profile for Office 2010 documents

WorldServer Translation Kits and XLIFF

GlobalSight now supports WorldServer translation kits (.XLZ) and WorldServer XLIFF (.XLF) file formats. Both are treated as source files and produce a bilingual target.

You can export an XLZ file from WorldServer and import it into GlobalSight when creating a job or a project. This allows you to use the building support of GlobalSight for Machine Translation engines, workflows, Online Editor and so on.

To create a File Profile for XLZ:

1. Select XLZ as the Source File Format
2. Select xlz as the File Extension
   
   
   
   

Once the GlobalSight job is complete, GlobalSight exports it in XLZ format - the same file format in which it is imported into GlobalSight.

You can also export from WorldServer in XLIFF format and import into GlobalSight when creating a job.

To create a File Profile for a WorldServer xlf file:

1. Select Xliff as the Source File Format
2. Select xlf as the File Extension
   
   
   
   

PO, RESX, and RC

GlobalSight supports PO (Portable Object), RESX (Resource file for .NET applications) and RC (Resource Compiler) file formats.

To create the new file profile:

1. In File Profile, select the appropriate Source File Format: PO, Resource Compiler or RESX
2. Select the File Extension: po for PO, rc for Resource Compiler or resx for RESX
3. Click Save
   
   
   
   

For PO, you can also create a filter using either HTML or XML as the Secondary Filter.

To create the PO filter:

1. Select Portable Object Filter and set either HTML or XML as the Secondary Filter
   
   
   
   
2. You can then select the PO filter in File Profile when the Source File Format is Portable Object
   
   
   
   

You can then select the XML filter in File Profile when the Source File Format is RESX.
