Filters

  • OpenXML Filter

    • Fixed issue #165: Strings in Excel files are now extracted in a more logical order (sheet-by-sheet, one row at a time, ordered by columns). Additionally, strings that appear multiple times in are now exposed for translation once for each occurrence, and may be translated independently. Warning: these changes may create problems merging translated content from Excel files that were processed with previous versions of Okapi.
    • Fixed issue #338: the “Exclude color” configuration option is now correctly applied to Excel files. This option works for cell background colors only. The colors available in the Rainbow filter configuration UI are aligned against the Excel 2011 “standard colors”; additional RGB values may be excluded by editing your filter configuration file directly.
    • Fixed issue #390: the “Exclude column” configuration option is now correctly applied to Excel files.
    • Fixed issue #440: markers for spelling and grammar errors are now stripped when exposing text for translation.
    • Fixed issue #441: added new options to expose line breaks and tabs for translation as literal characters.
    • Fixed issue #443: added the “Exclude Graphical Metadata” option to prevent metadata associated from graphics and textboxes from being exposed for translation.
    • Fixed issue #447: the “Translate Document Properties” option will now work for PowerPoint files.
    • Fixed issue #448: the “Translate Comments” option will now work for PowerPoint files.
    • Fixed issue #449: the “Translate Slide Masters” option will now also expose master layout content that is used by slides in the document.
    • Fixed issue #451: the “Translate Document Properties” option will now work for Excel files.
    • Fixed issue #452: Word files containing nested graphicData sections are no longer corrupted during processing.
    • Fixed issue #453: Word files that do not contain a word/styles.xml part can now be processed.
    • Fixed issue #454: entities occurring in alternateContent sections of Word documents are now handled correctly.
    • Fixed issue #457: empty lines in Word files are sometimes stripped.
    • Fixed issue #458: target text is lost in complicated run structures
    • Fixed issue #467: tabs in Word files are sometimes stripped.
    • Fixed issue #473: deletion change tracking can cause target corruption.
    • Fixed issue #474: files containing formulas could become corrupted.
    • Fixed issue #476: insertion change tracking can cause target corruption.
    • Fixed issue #482: <w:lang> tags are now stripped during extraction.
    • Fixed issue #484: Added a “Clean Tags Aggressively” option to the filter. When this option is enabled, the filter will strip certain types of formatting markup (whitespace and vertical alignment adjustment) that is spuriously inserted when converting other formats (such as PDF) to OpenXML. This produces smoother segmentation in some cases.
    • Fixed issue #485: Strip machine-generated “_GoBack” bookmarks from Word files.
  • ICML Filter

    • Added the ICML Filter for WCML files.
  • HTML Filter

    • Added support for ASPX comments and fixed tag-like attribute values extra output.
