Work with translated text


Corel DESIGNER simplifies the creation of technical documentation for a global market and reduces localization costs by offering the ability to send text to, and receive text from, a Translation Memory System (TMS). You can export text from a drawing to the XML Localization Interchange file format (XLIFF), the industry-standard format for sharing translatable text between a TMS and software. Then, when you receive the translated text back, it can be imported into the existing document, creating a new, language-specific file with identical content except the translated text strings.

By default, all paragraph text, artistic text, table text, text on a curve, and callouts in a drawing are exported for translation. You can exclude a text object from translation. When exporting text for translation, the font, font size, type face, bolding, italics, and underlining are maintained.
