3. Type the name of the folder where the XLIFF files should be placed in the XLIFF Folder text box or use the Browse... button to select a folder in the file system.
4. If you need to exclude some topics, enter the name of a DITAVAL file that you want to use for conditional processing in the DITAVAL File text box or use the Browse... button next to it to select a file from the file system.
5. Use the XLIFF Version radio buttons to select the version of XLIFF to generate, current supported options are 1.2, 2.0 and 2.1.
6. Select the Reuse ICE Matches check box if you want to compare current content with the content available last time an XLIFF file was generated and reuse all existing translations.
7. Select the Modified Files Only check box to exclude from the generated XLIFF files those topics that have not changed since the last translation cycle.
8. Select the Use Translation Memories check box if you want to recover translations for untranslated segments using the memories associated with the project.
