How to preserve locked segments present in my sdlxliff files while converting to xliff

[Abhishek9934]

Hi, I am working on a translation based project in which I want to skip translations for locked segments present in the xliff, sldxliff , mqxliff files. I am using the openXliff convert to generate xlf and skl files on which further processing is done.
But when I use convert, the locked="true" attributes are not getting preserved in the generated xlf files, is there a way to preserve the locked attributes while conversion ?

-Thanks

Upload sample files that I can use for reproducing.

Are you talking about the segments that contain fragments like this:

  <sdl:seg-defs>
    <sdl:seg id="73" locked="true" conf="Translated" origin="tm"
        origin-system="CN-3000-6000_EN-LV_240308" percent="100"
        struct-match="true">

Yes, for some trans-units segments present in the file, it has these locked = true properties present in the fragments.

OK, but are you aware that there is no "locked" attribute in the XLIFF standard?

All I can do is set state="signed-off" for locked segments and maybe add state-qualifier="leveraged-tm" where origin="tm"

Having the state="signed-off" would help.

Changes implemented in release 3.25.0:

• If you generate XLIFF 1.2, ts attribute of <trans-unit> is set to locked.
• if you generate XLIFF 2.x, subState attribute of <segment> is set to openxliff:locked

In both cases state attribute has a value compatible with the one defined in the SDLXLIFF file.

Let me know if this works.
