Support for HTML inside files

This feature allows the content of your uploaded files to be processed as HTML, making it particularly useful for handling structured content and formatting. When enabled, Redokun preserves the internal structure of the file, extracting only the translatable text while maintaining the underlying code intact.

This option is available for JSON, XLSX, and XLIFF files, making it especially valuable for processing text exported from Content Management Systems (CMSs) and other tools that manage structured data.

To activate this feature check the "Treat content as HTML" option when uploading a file.

Additional notes

Powerpoint (PPTX)

Redokun also imports slide notes but it does not import hidden slides.

InDesign (IDML)

Redokun imports all content inside the spreads from all layers. If your file contains more layers in more languages, read this guide.

XLIFF

Special import settings are available for XLIFF files exported from Articulate Rise 360 and Articulate Storyline 360. 

XLIFF files created with other platforms (eg. Intellum Evolve) work out of the box using the generic settings.
