A compound document in a structure can contain documents that are linked by member links and reference links. However, you can exclude reference documents from a translation package. The com.ptc.tml.OnlyRequiredDependents property controls the inclusion or exclusion of reference documents when creating a translation package.

The com.ptc.tml.OnlyRequiredDependents property is located in /Windchill/codebase/com/ptc/tml/xconf/tml.xconf. When set to false,which is the default, reference documents are included in a translation package. When set to true, the translation package excludes the documents that are associated by reference links and includes documents with member links only.

If the translation package excludes the documents that are linked by reference links, the XML content will refer to the source language version of the referenced topic. The exception to this is when the referenced document is present in the structure that is being translated.

Let us consider the following scenario.

A publication structure contains Document A and Document B. Document A is linked to Document B by a reference link. When Document A is translated as part of the publication structure, Document A is updated to refer to the translated version of Document B. If Document A is translated independent of the publication structure, it is not updated to refer to the translated version of Document B.
