WorldServer exports the term
administrative status when exporting terms, mapping the statuses to
the standard TBX ISO 12620 data category administrativeStatus. Any
term attribute with an internal name of administrativeStatus is ignored
during export, since WorldServer exports an administrativeStatus attribute
according to the term's status.
The term administrative status maps to
administrativeStatus attribute
values as follows:
- Proposed: no value. Not exported by default.
- Approved: admittedTerm-admn-sts.
- Preferred: preferredTerm-admn-sts
- Standardized: standardizedTerm-admn-sts
- Legal: legalTerm-admn-sts
- Regulated: regulatedTerm-admn-sts
- Rejected: no value. Not exported by default.
- Deprecated: deprecatedTerm-admn-sts.
- Superseded: supersededTerm-admn-sts
Because there is no suitable ISO 12620 data category to express the
processing status, WorldServer exports a new attribute
processingStatus (not to
be mistaken for ISO 12620's
processStatus) that maps as follows:
- Proposed: proposed
- Rejected: rejected
- Active/Inactive: processed. The actual Active/Inactive status is
determined by the administrativeStatus attribute, or Approved by default.
By default, only Active and Inactive terms are exported. However, you can select which terms to export
using the Export Entries
from Term Database<TD> page (accessed from the Export TD button).
Exporting a translation kit is a special case of exporting a term
database. Rather than the entire term database, only term entries
with matching source terms are exported in a translation kit. WorldServer
handles term statuses in translation kits as follows:
- Where a source term (active or inactive) matches text in a source
segment, all active or inactive
terms in the source and target languages for that entry are exported.
Exporting all such terms ensures that all pertinent information is
available to the translator.
- The Browser Workbench makes the status of the terms clear, so a translator
will not mistakenly translate a term using inactive terminology.
- Only attributes flagged with Include in Translation Kit are exported.
