Custom Filters

Management > Administration > Customization: Filters

Note the following about the filter components that appear on the Customization page:

Filters provided by SDL usually start with the class name com.idiominc.ws.filters.
Custom filters appear in the list with a checkbox on the left, and can be deleted.
Embedded filters also appear in the list, but cannot be deleted.
You must associate a custom filter with a MIME type on the Management > Administration > Customization: MIME types page before you can use it in a translation project.

See the About Filter Configurations topic for more information on using and configuring filters. That information applies equally to custom and standard filters.

Note: Custom filters run directly on the WorldServer application machine, and not on the File Type Support (FTS) server. Some connectors, such as the SQL connector, do not permit mixing Studio file types (which use the FTS server) with Custom filters in the same mount.
