Filesystem Connector

The Filesystem Connector is the default connector and does not connect to any translation memory system. Instead, it keeps all translatable files in the translationstudio Application’s core directory at

working/translatable

In addition, the connector may copy the translatable files to any other target directory accessible by the translationstudio Application as well as send a notification email if available.

You may collect the XMLs from the translatable directory. If you want to submit translated XML files to translationstudio again (i.e. to import them) simply drop them in the directory

working/translated

The configuration panel itself is shown below and provides the following components:

Figure 1. The configuration panel

Job Configuration
You may choose the job configuration to be used by this connector here. The connector will use the default job configuration by default.
Translatable File Name
translationstudio creates xml files using a generic pattern. If you need more readable names, you may decide to do so here.
eMail Notification Settings
You may decide whom to notify once translatable files are available.
Create ZIP Files
The filesystem connector may create individual zip files containing a translatable xml with its related additional and preview files.
Target Folder
If the translatable files are be copied to a particular directory automatically, you may provide the respective target folder here. Please provide an absolute path. You may check if the translationstudio Application can access it by clicking on the ``Test directory'' button.
Keep original files
If, and only if, the files are to be copied into another location, you may choose if the original files within the translatable directory are to be kept or removed.
Execute Shell Command
You may let translationstudio execute a shell command after translatable files are available. If you provide a relative address, the root folder is the translationstudio Application’s folder.

Please make sure the translationstudio Application can access the target folder (if provided). If files cannot be copied to another directory, the original copies will be kept and not be deleted even if the connector configuration is set to do so.
