Dear community members,

The question I will ask may sound stupid but I am a bit lost in the File Type Support API and a small hint would be really valuable for me.

I would like to develop a plugin which parse the SDLXLIFF file and execute some functions on the source segments. I just want to read the segments and not modify the SDLXLIFF file. I have the following code:

public void openSDLXLIFF()

        {

            IFileTypeManager mgr = Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Core.Utilities.IntegrationApi.DefaultFileTypeManager.CreateInstance(true);

            string bilingualFilePath = @"C:\Test\149999b_EN_O.docx.sdlxliff";

            string outputfile = @"C:\Test\149999b_EN_Odo.docx.sdlxliff";

            Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.IntegrationApi.IMultiFileConverter conv = mgr.GetConverterToDefaultBilingual(bilingualFilePath, outputfile, ConverterMessage);

            conv.AddBilingualProcessor(new AnalyseSDLXLIFF());

            conv.Parse();

       }

 And the following class implementing the AbstractBilingualContentProcessor

    class AnalyseSDLXLIFF : AbstractBilingualContentProcessor

    {

        public override void Initialize(IDocumentProperties documentInfo)

        {

            MessageBox.Show("initialize");

            base.Initialize(documentInfo);

        }

        public override void Complete()

        {

            MessageBox.Show("complete");

            base.Complete();

        }

        public override void SetFileProperties(IFileProperties fileInfo)

        {

            MessageBox.Show("props");

            base.SetFileProperties(fileInfo);

        }

        public override void FileComplete()

        {

            MessageBox.Show("filecomplete");

            base.FileComplete();

        }

        public override void ProcessParagraphUnit(IParagraphUnit paragraphUnit)

        {

            MessageBox.Show("paragraphUnit");

            if (paragraphUnit.IsStructure == false)

            {

                foreach (ISegmentPair segmentPair in paragraphUnit.SegmentPairs)

                {

                    MessageBox.Show(segmentPair.Source.ToString());

                }

            }

        }

    }

When I execute my code, I know that my class is executed since the message box for the methods Initialize, SetfileProperties, FileComplete and Complete pop up. However, the ProcessParagraphUnit method is not executed at all.

I am not really familiar with the concept of derived classes and interfaces and I am sure that the solution to my problem is probably not complicated. But as I said, I am a bit lost in this API and help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Laurent
