Import Options

  • Filter 

    Choose which Markdown dialect the parser uses when importing the file. This also affects which characters are automatically escaped/unescaped on import and export.

    • Plain

      Parses base Markdown structure only (headings, paragraphs, lists, basic emphasis).

    • PHP/Python Markdown Extra

      Parses using the PHP Markdown Extra / Python-Markdown "Extra" dialect, adding support for tables, definition lists, footnotes, abbreviations, and attribute lists.

    • GitHub Flavored Markdown

      Parses using the GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) spec, adding support for tables, task lists, strikethrough, and autolinks.

  • Hard line break creates new segment 

  • Preserve whitespaces 

    Preserves the same whitespace structure in the target document (e.g. spacing, newlines, etc.).

  • Process YAML header 

    Processes YFM. When selected, .YAML import settings are applied.

  • Import code blocks 

    Extracts the content of code blocks for translation.

  • Exclude code elements 

    When this option is selected, code elements are imported as single Phrase TMS tags.

  • Make URLs translatable

  • Convert to Phrase TMS tags 

    Apply regular expressions to convert specified text to tags.

    Important

    Issues with tags are a common cause of export errors. Always ensure tags and formatting are correct before exporting files by running quality assurance checks.

  • Custom elements (converted to Phrase tags) 

    Define the elements in the file to be converted into tags.

  • Non-translatable blocks 

    Define sections in the file that should not be imported.

    Example:

    Element name: notrans.

    Code: <notrans>Chrysler</notrans> entered three factory prepared <notrans>Dodge Shadows</notrans> to the event in 1985. All three vehicles retired in the first day of the three day <notrans>Olympus</notrans> rally.

    Result: Chrysler は、1985年に工場で準備された3台の Dodge Shadows に参加しました。3台の車両はすべて3日間の Olympus ラリーの初日にリタイアしました。

  • Don't escape characters 

    A list of characters that shouldn't be escaped in the completed file (for instance, #, -, [,<,\,`, ![,](,:).
