Extract content of hidden layers

You can extract hidden layers for translation or skip them.

Extract cross-reference formats

Extract cross-reference formatting for translation or skip it.

Extract special characters as text

Examples of special characters are non-breaking space, tab and discretionary hyphen. You can treat these characters as text or as tags. If you treat them as tags they are put into inline tags. Em dash and en dash are always treated as text.

Extract hidden conditional text content

Hidden conditional text is conditional text that is not exposed in the source document. If processed or extracted, the text is extracted as the subsequent segment. If not processed (not extracted), the text is included as an inline tag.

Extract discretionary hyphens

The placement of discretionary hyphens is dependent on the structure and pronunciation of words in the source language, so usually you should choose to remove rather than extract them.

Extract discretionary line breaks

A discretionary line break allows a word break at the end of a line without inserting a hyphen. The position of such breaks is language dependent, so you should usually not extract them.

Skip tracking and kerning

Kerning and tracking information applied to source text is usually too closely aligned to the source language text layout to be useful for the translated text, so usually you should not process these tags. If you do process these tags, then kerning tags are represented by <k...> tags , and tracking tags by <t...> tags. Note: Even if you choose to skip them, where those tags are combined with other tags, the information is represented in tags in the target document.

Additional footnote text

You can include footnote text in the translation or ignore it.

Hyperlinks

Options are: Always process hyperlinks All parts of the hyperlink element are available to the translator, including the hyperlink itself. Extract only hyperlink text Only the visible hyperlink text is available for translation. The hyperlink is copied to the target segment but cannot be edited. Never process hyperlinks The hyperlink text is presented for translation but the hyperlink is not copied to the target segment.

Extract file information

File info in Adobe products is the equivalent of document properties in Microsoft Office products. You can only extract text fields for translation. You cannot extract fields such as date. Information that is not extracted is preserved in the target document.
