Unbabel supports several file types which use specific filters to ensure that the relevant content is extracted for translation and delivered back to respect the original format.
However, this process is not foolproof and might have different results depending on the file type or the complexity of your file formatting.
The table below contains the filter description and expected behaviour, along with the risk rating, for each file type. The risk rating provides an idea of how likely it is that the translation process can result in some of the original formatting being lost to an uncertain degree.
