You can import custom file type configurations from SDL Trados Studio into
WorldServer to ensure that your documents are processed and segmented consistently across both products and to avoid creating them twice.
Make sure that the file type whose configuration you want to import exists both in
WorldServer and in SDL Trados Studio. Also, do not change the extension of the configuration file you export from Studio.
If you want to import a Custom XML (Embedded Content Processor) configuration that uses a specific processor to handle embedded content, make sure you import the configuration of the processor before importing the Custom XML (Embedded Content Processor) configuration.
Note: In SDL Trados Studio 2015 and 2017, Default file type configurations are exported as empty files. Therefore, you cannot import them into
WorldServer. However, if you make changes to Default configurations in SDL Trados Studio and export them as new configurations, the files will no longer be empty and you will be able to import them into
WorldServer.

Important:
- After you import configurations for embedded content processors, do not rename them. The Custom XML (Embedded Content Processor) file types that use those configurations will still be linked to their original name.
- You cannot overwrite imported configurations. To import the latest version of an existing configuration, you have to delete it from
WorldServer, export it again from Studio, and import it again into WorldServer. As an alternative, you can export the configuration with a different file name and import it into
WorldServer, which will keep both versions.
- For the file types that use embedded content processing, the name of the imported configuration is the identifier from SDL Trados Studio. For all the other file types, the name of the imported configuration is the name of the file.
