Notes:
| File Scoped | This column indicates if the glossary format supports file scoping. This means that the pairs of strings are grouped per file and iLocalize can use that information to translate the designated file. Formats that are not scoped by file can still be used to update a project. But in this case iLocalize will try to translate all the selected files with all the glossary strings. |
| * | This indicates that the format can be scoped by file only if specific custom attributes are specified in the file. Use iLocalize to export such file first so the custom file attribute is correctly written in the file. |
