Before diving into the import/export process, make sure you’ve addressed these key requirements:

Vendors need the appropriate permissions to export or import XLIFF files. If you’re a vendor and don’t have this permission, reach out to your project manager or admin to get the necessary access. They can enable the permission by navigating to Permissions > Project > "Project Export or Import File."

Bureau Works only supports the import of XLIFF files that were originally exported from the specific project you're working on. This means the file you’re importing must come from that project’s original XLIFF export. Files exported from other sources or projects cannot be imported, ensuring consistency and preventing data mismatches.

By selecting the task and clicking on “Import/Export”, two options will be shown:

By clicking on "XLIFF" and then "Selected Tasks," the XLIFF file will be downloaded.

By clicking on "Loc-kit (TMX + XLIFF)" and then "Selected Tasks," both TMX and XLIFF will be downloaded.

By selecting the task, clicking on "Import/Export," and then choosing "Bulk Import XLIFF," the vendor can upload a .zip file to be imported into the project.

By clicking on the actions button (the vertical ellipsis) next to the work unit and selecting "Import," the vendor can choose an XLIFF file to import for the task.
