Okapi Java properties file and XLIFF file

Question

Is it possible to use Okapi to convert java properties files to XLIFF and to reconstruct java properties file from XLIFF file.

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible using the Properties Filter.

An example of doing this using Okapi Tikal would look like this:

tikal.sh -fc okf_properties -x sample.properties -nocopy
# translate the resulting sample.properties.xlf file
tikal.sh -fc okf_properties -m sample.properties.xlf

You can also use this with Rainbow as part of an extraction pipeline.
