View source for Translation of XML Files

XML files can be handled in [[Wordfast Professional|Wordfast Pro]] as follows: 

* You need first to have/create a rules (*.properties) file. 
* Go to Edit menu > Preferences > Formats > New > Text-based Filter. 
* Use the [...] button to browser for the "Conversion rules" (*.properties) file. 
* Make sure the "Extension" textbox shows *.xml and save the settings (OK). 
* You can change the filter name later. 
* Now, you should be able to open the XML file in [[Wordfast Professional|WFP]] (File menu > Open file).

This [http://www.wordfast.com/tips_and_tricks/xml_translation/index.html tutorial] illustrates how to prepare a "conversion rules" (*.properties) file to handle XML files.

For practice, you can [https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B6RiXvgKYZ46N2dSRVE1Zzd2NUU download example files].
