Using the XLIFF Option: Process Overview
1. Generate the XLIFF from the RTF or BI Publisher (XPT) template.– Two methods for generating the XLIFF for a single template
file:— Generate the XLIFF by using Template Builder for MS Word (not
supported for XPT templates)— Generate the XLIFF from the Layout Properties page
2. Translate the strings.
3. Preview by using Template Builder.

Managing XLIFF Translations on BI Publisher Server
Two methods:
• Template translation: Extract and upload a separate localized translation for RTF Templates.
• Catalog translation: Extract and upload translations for all objects in a selected Catalog folder, into a single XLIFF file.

2. BI Publisher creates an XLIFF file.
3. Strings are translated locally.
4. Upload the translated XLIFF file to the Catalog or template.
5. Assign the appropriate locale.
