EasyXLF - Translation Made Easy

Translations with the built-in facilities of the Netweaver Developer Studio are cumbersome and error-prone. When the the file with the original language has been editited, the XML source of the translated files has to be manually scanned for missing or orphaned translation units, which have to be added or deleted respectively. EasyXLF takes over this routine work, so that you can focus exclusively on the content of the translations.

EasyXLF is an Eclipse plugin which contains an alternative Editor for XLF files. It works with Netweaver Developer Studio 7.1 or newer. Installation is easy: Just copy a single file into the plugin directory of your Netweaver Developer Studio Installation. After that you can open the editor via right click on the XLF file → Open With → EasyXLF Editor.

Features

• When an XLF file is opened, automatically all translated versions of that file are opened in additional tabs.
  
• In the translated files, entries of the original file which have not been translated yet, are displayed in gray. When the text is overwritten, an entry in the translated file is automatically created.
• Entries in translated files which don't have a corresponding entry (anymore) in the original, are highlighted in yellow.
• Entries whose key is also contained in the original but whose type or length differs, are highlighted in red.
• Normally only the text of the translation units is editable, as the other attributes are automatically generated by Web Dynpro. For the rare case where a manual edit of those attributes is needed, you can switch into an "Expert Mode".
