XML Writer

The XML Writer settings specify the UTF-8 BOM and xml:lang attributes in the target file.

Unicode UTF-8 Byte Order Mark
You can choose when the SDL file support software should insert a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark (BOM) in the target document.
xml:lang attribute values
Change matching source language to target language
For example: If the source language is English and the target language is French, selecting this option changes all occurrences of:

xml:lang="en" in the source file

to:

xml:lang="fr" in the target file.

Always change to target language
For example: If the source language is English and the target language is French, selecting this option changes all occurrences of:

xml:lang="..." in the source file

to:

xml:lang="fr" in the target file.

Do not change
xml:lang attribute values are not changed.
