Issues with translating using XLIFF file
Hello everyone, 2 years later and I am having the exact issue. I wonder how accurate this translation process is, from the one who has used it. We are trying to avoid manual localization. We have a tool in the job which can translate xlif files, I imported back to SL and it says successfully but nothing change.

Hi Sofia,
Happy to help!
If your translation file is importing as successful but no text is getting translated, there's a possibility that no target tags were included in your translation file when the text was translated. For your reference, your translation file should have tags like this one:
<target><bpt ctype="x-block" id="block_0" /><ph id="generic_1"><Style Justification="Center" /></ph><bpt ctype="x-style" id="span_2"><Style FontSize="20" ForegroundColor="lt1,00" LinkColor="lt1,00" /></bpt><g ctype="x-text" id="text_2">text goes here</g><ept id="span_2" /><ept id="block_0" /></target>
Try checking your translation file by opening it in a Word processor and searching for the presence of target tags using the Ctrl + F feature. If no target tags are present, you'll need to work with your translation team to have them correct the translation file. If target tags are present, please open a case with our support team here so we can take a closer look at why the translation process wasn't successful.
