Receiving files and accessing the correct rules are the first steps toward preparing files for translation. These steps are described below:
Receiving Files: The files are received from clients for translation. They may be in any format, such as DOC, XLS, PPT, INX, HTML, JSP. When opening any translation file in Wordfast Pro, the file is automatically converted to TXLF (see TXLF Edit Menu).
Conversion Rules: These rules are required for creating a new XML filter for converting XML files to TXLF (see Select File Filters).
