Fields

AnalyzeFiles

Performs an analysis of bilingual target-language files against the translation providers (TranslationProviderConfiguration). This task populates the analysis statistics of the input files (AnalysisStatistics) and creates an analysis report per target language, which can be accessed via Reports.

Declaration
public const string AnalyzeFiles = "Sdl.ProjectApi.AutomaticTasks.Analysis"
Field Value
Type Description
string
Remarks

The settings for this task can be customized via the TranslationMemorySettings and AnalysisTaskSettings settings groups for the entire project, or for a specific language direction.

This is a so-called content processing task, which means it operates on an SDLXLIFF file in a streaming manner and can be executed in parallel with other content-processing tasks. Running these together is more efficient, since they can share information like translation memory lookup results, so instead of having to perform a translation memory lookup for each task, only one lookup is required and those results are shared with all the tasks being executed in parallel.

Reference (Reference) and localizable (Localizable) files are ignored.

ConvertToTranslatableFormat

Converts native source language files (e.g. *.doc) to bilingual source language SDLXLIFF files (e.g. *.doc.sdlxliff). This task can be run on native or bilingual source language files. Reference (Reference) and localizable (Localizable) files are ignored. This task does not generate a report.

Declaration
public const string CopyToTargetLanguages = "Sdl.ProjectApi.AutomaticTasks.Split"
Field Value
Type Description
string
Remarks

This task has no customizable settings.

ExportFiles

Exports specific versions of the input files to a given directory. If you want to generate the native target language versions for finalizing the project, use the GenerateTargetTranslations task instead.

Declaration
public const string ExportFiles = "Sdl.ProjectApi.AutomaticTasks.GenerateTargetTranslation.ExportFiles"
Field Value
Type Description
string

Declaration
public const string PopulateProjectTranslationMemories = "Sdl.ProjectApi.AutomaticTasks.ProjectTm"
Field Value
Type Description
string
