Florian	Hi, we would like to add the target language as a suffix to the xliff filename. Is it possible to get a new filter for that in WPML_TM_Xliff_Frontend::get_xliff_archive, so we can manipulate the name generated with $archive->addFile($xliff_file, get_bloginfo('name') . '-translation-job-' . $job_id . '.xliff'); Could we also have an additional hook in WPML_TM_Xliff_Writer::get_translation_unit_data so we can manipulate the return data '$translation_unit' for example for removing the target

Currently, there are no filter hooks to do those questions. It could be feature requests for the development team. Before sending the requests, can I have a question? - It is understandable that adding the language source and target to the file name will be easier to read and classify. - But for the second point, can you please let me know why you want to remove the target element in the XLIFF file? It is in a standard structure of an XLIFF file which you can read here hidden link There could be some unexpected issues if remove this element. Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Florian	Hi Long, thank you for your reply. Regarding the questing removing the target element: if we look at the AppTree hidden link we will see that "target" has a question mark, which means it should have an occurrence of zero or one. So removing the target will not break the schema. In our case, the customer would need it to the translations in Trados, you can also check in this introduction video the the target is not present there hidden link

I'm discussing those points with the development team to consider supporting filter hooks to modify the xliff file name and translation unit data. I will let you know if I have any news to share. Thanks

We will increase the priority if we get more users asking for the same feature. Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day.
