Using the Language Xport Feature
The Language Xport feature lets you copy content blocks into XLIFF files that can be submitted to a translation agency. The agency translates the files and returns them. In the final stage, you import the translated content block back into Ektron CMS400.NET.
What is XLIFF?
XLIFF (XML Localisation Interchange File Format) is a format that stores extracted text and carries data from one step to the next in the localization process. To learn more about XLIFF, visit these Web sites:

Overview of Exporting/Importing Translation Files
- You select one or more target languages.
- You select which content blocks to translate. You can select by:
- all content in a folder or only selected blocks
- range of last published dates
- all content blocks that satisfy the first two criteria or only content blocks that either do not yet exist or whose last published date precedes the source content
- You can preview which content blocks are about to be converted into XLIFF and XHTML files. If necessary, you can modify the selection criteria and rerun the preview until you are satisfied with the list of content blocks to be translated.
- Ektron CMS400.NET converts selected content blocks to an XLIFF or XHTML file. The converted content blocks are saved to webroot/400sample/uploaded files/xliff or webroot/400sample/uploaded files/xhtml.
You can prepare the same content blocks for translation into several languages at once.
- Transmit the XLIFF or XHTML files to a translation agency, which converts them into the new language(s). When the translation agency returns the files, replace the original files with the translated versions.
- Use the Import feature to upload the translated content blocks to your Web site. If the editions of the content blocks do not exist in the target language, they are created at this point.
