 Overview of In-flow Translation

1 Overview of In-flow Translation

Introduction
SWIFT have implemented the in-flow translation services as a key interoperability measure
to support the implementation of many to many cross-border payments towards ISO 20022
messaging. "In-flow translation" means the translation that happens during the processing
of the message at SWIFT and as an outcome of that translation, multi-format message is
generated. This service enables customers to receive multiformat message i.e. Both FIN MT
and ISO 20022 MX. This approach aims at facilitating integration in the receiver's
application environment in case not all applications can support the ISO 20022 format
during the co-existence period.
In this document, the term translation refers to an activity at SWIFT whereby SWIFT creates
an MT representation derived from the ISO 20022. . Based on the CBPR+ translation rules,
the values from the different tags of the ISO 20022 message are successfully translated in
the equivalent fields of the corresponding MT message.
The document also explains that data truncation and replacement can happen during this
process and how this is indicated.
The term in-flow refers to translation which occurs on the FINplus interact service
during the message exchange, at a moment after the message has been received by
SWIFT and before it is made available for delivery to the receiver. Translation is invoked
before the message is made ready for reception by the receiver. The sender does not need
to be aware that this translation is happening before the message is received by the
receipient. Both, the ISO 20022 MX message, and the translated MT message are expected
to be received by the recipient as part of one SWIFTNet message (MX), also known as the
multi-format message.

In-flow Translation occurs only in one direction that is, ISO20022 MX to MT. These rules are
not further detailed in this document (Refer MyStandards ). This translation happens for the
receiver who has been provisioned for FINplus Interact Service.

Translation scope
The translation scope is the ISO 20022 MX message format only and the source of the
translated messages are based on the CBPR+ usage guidelines (UG). Translation copes
with the CBPR+ UG schemas and rules and the MT formats and rules . The network-related
parts are not translated, except those that are business wise important. This applies to the
session-related information or the retransmission done by SWIFT.

3 Multi-format MX
Translation into three XML comments
The three XML comments added by SWIFT at the end of the RequestPayload just before
the closing tag of the RequestPayload are as follows:
• The translated MT in case the translation result is not indicating a failure to translate.
• The translation results.
• The translation version and if the translation result needs further information,
thenadditional information is added, in fields that were truncated.
Example of the multi-format MX (whitespace added for readability purposes):
<SwInt:RequestPayload>
<AppHdr ...>... </AppHdr>
<Document ...>...</Document>
<!--
{1:F01BANKBEBBXXXX0000000000}
{2:O1030840190320SENDBEBBXXXX00000000001903200841U}

...
-}
{5:{CHK:ABCD12345678}}
-->
<!-- TranslationResult=CODE -->
<!-- TranslationInfo version 1.0.0.1
Other info as applicable (e.g. list of fields that could not be
translated fully) -->
</SwInt:RequestPayload>

Handling CrLF and parsing comments

The MT uses a CrLF as a delimiter. Since XML parsers should do end-of-line handling, the
CrLF are replaced with two specific characters "^" for the Cr and "~" for the LF.
XML parsers may use the "--" within an XML comment as part of a markup of the comment.
To avoid interference with XML parsers each "--" within the translated MT is replaced by "[[".
This can be safely done because the three characters "~", "^" and "[" are not part of any MT
character set.
Example of the RequestPayload that is provided to your messaging interface:

22 February 2022 7
 Multi-format MX

<SwInt:RequestPayload>
<AppHdr ...>...</AppHdr>
<Document...>...</Document>
<!--{1:F01BANKBEBBXXXX0000000000}{2:O1030840190320SENDBEBBXXXX00000000001
903200841U}{3:{121:uetr value}}{4:^~:20:trn^~:32A:190320EUR5000,50^~...^~
-}{5:{CHK:ABCD12345678}}-->
<!-- TranslationResult=CODE -->
<!-- TranslationInfo version 1.0.0.1
Other info as applicable (e.g. list of fields that could not be
translated fully) -->
</SwInt:RequestPayload>

The first comment contains the translated MT, while the other comments contain information
about the translation itself.
As shown the whitespace between the markup of the start <!-- and of the end of the
comment --> and the content of the comment should be ignored.
Your messaging interface may interpret these characters and make the resulting MT format
available as it would do for a normally received MT over FIN.
The following sections describe each comment.

3.1 Mapping to MT Blocks

Overview
The mapping from the ISO 20022 MX to the particular fields in the block of the MT is
explained in a set of tables.
Some of the network-related fields are provided as well. In this case, it is explained for
which element from the SnF RequestDescriptor they are coming from.
Since the in-flow translation is done for the receiver, only the output format of the MT is
used.
Block 1 - Basic Header

Field Value Comment

Block identifier {1: A constant indicating block 1
Application identifier F A constant. Only FIN user to user messages
are translated
Service identifier 01 A constant. Only FIN user to user messages
are translated
Logical Terminal address BANKBEBBXABC This is the receiver of the message.
The 9th character is always X

Note The Logical Terminal Address may be derived differently for pilot services which
translate to FIN Test and Training, see section Pilot services and translation.

Block 2 - Application Header

The output format is used.

Note The BIC in the Message Input Reference may be derived differently for pilot
services which translate to FIN Test and Training, see section Pilot services and
translation.
Note The output date and time is generated at the time the translation is invoked. The
business wise important timestamp is the input date and time, which is translated
correctly into the block 2 fields, based on the time zone of the sender BIC.

3.2 Translation Reporting

Translation result
Since an ISO 20022 MX is highly rich and structured, it is not always possible to fully
translate the ISO 20022 MX.
There are some elements from the Business Application header that are used to translate
fields in the MT blocks 1 and 2, however majority of the translation result is from the ISO
20022 message (Document).
The translation result is composed of four-letter words along with the conditional category
of the severity of the error and six alphanumeric characters codes (if applicable). For e.g.,
"code": "TRNR", "message": "TRUNC_N.T0000T

In total the Translation result could be distinguished under following 5 categories

TROK Success where the full ISO 20022 message is translated

TRAK Almost success where the resulting MT is valid but not all elements of the ISO 20022
message end up in the translated MT
Note: TRAK code will be implemented in Q2 2022.

TRNR Truncation or character replacement occurred in non-reference fields

TRFR Truncation or character replacement occurred in reference fields present in the MT

TRNK Failure to translate

Translation result severity

For each element that has an issue in translation, the translation result details provide four
pieces of information:
• A category indicating the severity of the error
− TRUNC_N: a truncation in a non-reference field or missing non-reference field
− TRUNC_R: a truncation in a reference field or missing reference field
− WARNING: a condition reported on a given field; such conditions are reported as
agreed upon by the community

22 February 2022 12
 Multi-format MX

− FAILURE: a fatal error indicating that the translation has stopped and therefore no
comment with the translation itself is present.
• A code indicating the type of issue encountered; the codes start with a letter ‘T’
• The path of the element on which the issue was detected
• A short description of the issue

It is expected that in most cases the code will be TROK, TRAK or TRNR

3.2.1 Translation Result – TROK

In case of ‘TROK’ code, the ISO 20022 message is successfully translated without any errors. Based on
the CBPR+ translation rules, the values from the different tags of the ISO 20022 message are successfully
translated in the equivalent fields of the corresponding MT message. Both, the ISO 20022 MX message,
and the translated MT message are expected to be received by the recipient as part of one SWIFTNet
message (MX), also known as the multi-format message. In certain scenarios ‘TROK’ could be flagged
with severity such as a ‘WARNING’ and six alphanumeric characters codes.

Example of code ‘TROK’

} ] }

3.2.2 Translation Result – TRNR

In case of ‘TRNR’ code, the ISO 20022 message has truncation or character replacement for ‘Non-
reference fields. The values from the non-reference fields in the ISO message are either truncated or
replaced by a dot(.) to comply with MT validation rules . For e.g., special character ‘#’ is supported in ISO
20022 MX message but will be replaced by a ‘dot(.)’ while translating to MT as it does not support this
special character.

.In another example, if any one of the’ address’ line element is empty out of the three line elements or if
any of the address line element has spaces then that specific line will be truncated in the translated
MT.(Refer example below)

In the case of a TRNR code, the message description contains path of the element where the error occurred
along with the short description.
Refer TRNR section in Appendix B.
From the translated MT, it is recommended to use the references of field:20 and :21 to reconcile the
messages, in case the translation result code is other than TRFR.
It is not recommended to use the translated MT for the purposes such as compliance checking, since
truncated data may not serve the purpose.
Example of xml message that would trigger code ‘TRNR’ .

3.2.3 Translation Result – TRFR

In case of ‘TRFR’ code, the ISO 20022 message has truncation or character replacement for ‘Reference
fields’. The values from the reference fields in the ISO message are either truncated or replaced by a
dot(.) to comply with MT validation rules . Truncated fields contain as last character a "+“ (plus).
For e.g., special character ‘#’ is supported in ISO 20022 MX message but will be replaced by a ‘dot(.)’
while translating to MT as it does not support this special character.
In the case of a TRFR code, the message description contains path of the element where the error occurred
along with the short description.

22 February 2022 16
 Multi-format MX

It is not recommended to perform reconciliation based on the translated MT for ‘TRFR’ codes. This is not
an issue for the messaging interface as such since all reconciliation is based on the ISO 20022 MX and
not on the translated MT.

3.2.4 Translation Result – TRNK

In case of ‘TRNK’ code, the ISO 20022 message has not successfully translated into MT message. The
typical reason for the code TRNK could be the fact that the preconditions or the schema is not as per the
usage guidelines. For examples such as
a.) ISO 20022 message containing more than one transaction
b.) amount field has more than 14 digits which is not MT compatible
c.) usage of commodities currency like XAU, XAG, XPD,XPT etc. in ISO 20022 message.

"path": "MT103CORE/Block4"
}
]
}
-->

3.2.5 Translation Result – TRAK

In case of ‘TRAK’ code (Translation almost, OK), the ISO 20022 MX message has successfully
translated to MT but not all elements of the ISO messages are translated to MT.
In an ISO 20022 message, if an optional data element is populated according to the CBPR+ usage
guidelines and that can never be translated into an MT due to the absence of an equivalent field, then
the TRAK code will be generated in the translation result. For e.g. In ISO 20022 Message
"DebtorAccountType" is an optional field but this field doesn’t have an equivalent field in MT.
There will NOT be any TRAK code generated for the mandatory element in ISO 20022 message which
has no equivalent field in MT. For e.g., Field element " no. of transaction" is mandatory in MX but it will
never translate into MT and neither it will generate a TRAK code.

TRAK code will be implemented in Q2 2022.

3.2.6 Translation Result with Multiple Translation Result codes

There is a possibility where in a single ISO 20022 MX message there could be multiple translation
result codes For example, TRNR, TRNK. In this case, priority should be given to the codes listed in the
below order:

TRNK – Translation failure.

22 February 2022 19
 Multi-format MX

TRFR – Truncation/ Character replacement of ‘Reference’ fields

TRNR - Truncation/ Character replacement of ‘Non- Reference’ fields
TROK – Translation OK with a warning message.
TROK - Translation OK

To summarise, if the translation code results as ‘TRFR’ and ‘TRNK’ in the same message then the
priority should be given to ‘TRNK’, and the embedded MT should not be considered for further
processing.

Based upon the above xml message, the multiformat message resulted with two translation result codes
such as TRNK and TRFR:

b.) In another example, if the translation code results as ‘TRFR’ and ‘TRNR’ in the same message
then the priority should be given to ‘TRFR’

The result details are in a JSON format as illustrated in the above examples.
A messaging interface may use the translation result details to offer some functionality to its users. As a
minimum the information must be stored together with the message and be available to allow for correct
interpretation and appropriate processing of the translated MT.
The list of codes is published in the SWIFTNet Link Error Codes.

5 Pilot Services and Translation

Difference between FIN Test and Training and SnF pilot services
FIN Test and Training use the concept of a Test and Training BIC to clearly separate Test
and Training traffic from live traffic. The Test and Training BICs are part of the signed data.
SWIFTNet InterAct, and all other SWIFTNet messaging services, use the concept of a pilot
or Test and Training service to identify and separate test traffic from live traffic. Separation
is done by the service and the fact that pilot traffic must go to different pilot SnF queues than
live traffic. The service is part of the signed data.
To ensure that the approach used for FIN also applies to translated MT and that the same
concepts can be used for tests related to all MT, independent on where these MT are
coming from, it is essential that the translated MT for ISO 20022 MX uses Test and Training
BIC within the block 1 and block 2.
Deriving the Test and Training BIC from the ISO 20022 MX
The Business Application Header To and Fr are used to populate the MT block 1 and 2.
Only when the BICFI is a live BIC a mechanism is needed to derive the corresponding Test
and Training BIC.
The Test and Training BIC for both MT block 1 and block 2 are derived in two attempts
performed in the following order
• If To or Fr contain a Test and Training BIC, then this Test and Training BIC is used.
• Else the default Test and Training BIC corresponding to the live BIC is used.
The default Test and Training BIC is in most cases the same as the live BIC but with a 0 in
the 8th position.
Testing on ITB
The ITB (Integration Test Bed) is an independent testbed made available by SWIFT for
vendors to test out the implementation of the vendor software. This allows vendors to verify
their software prior to deploying their product at their customers premises.
For the in-flow translation testing, a naming convention is used to distinguish a service on
which a live translation rule set is deployed from a service on which a test translation rule
set is deployed.
As a reminder, services on ITB contain always a "!x" in the service name.
The naming convention used is simple. Services with a "!xp" in their service name use the
pilot translation rules. These are therefore always using a Test and Training BIC within the
MT block 1 and block 2. Services that contain an "!x" but no "!xp" use the live translation
rules.

Appendix A

Messages in scope of the in-flow translation

The following list of messages will be in scope of the in-flow translation service for the pilot
service from November 2021 and live service in August 2022 prior the general availability of
the transaction manager in November 2022. For more details, see the FINplus Service
Description.

Note All translation rules from ISO to FIN approved by the CBPR+ working group are
available and published on MyStandards

Appendix B
In-flow Translation related Sample Messages
The purpose of the following sample messages is to facilitate application testing and to provide a
further understanding of the structure of ISO 20022 messages and conditions that would trigger
certain types of translation results.

This selection of samples is arranged in order of the Translation result and error codes as per the
table below and also available to download from Mystandards portal in samples library under
MT/ISO 20022 Translation section CBPR+ Landing page Each zip file aligns to the Translation
result and error codes, and contains the message samples as a Sender and a Receiver.

The naming convention is as follows:

“In-flowTranslationResultCode_error/warning_code_messagetype.txt”
For example, TRNK_T1000E_pacs.008.txt

The message will not work “as is” in the Readiness Portal or in the FINplus Pilot future environment.
In order to test in FINplus Pilot future environment with other Bank(s) or to conduct loop back testing
with self, it is essential that users replace the DUMMY BIC in the samples provided with their own
BICs in the Application Header and Document section as a ‘Sender’ of messages. The samples
don’t include request header and cryptography/signatures added by the messaging interface.

You will need an editor to view the txt file, such as NotePad, NotePad++ or you can use a web
browser.
This selection of Translation result and error codes will increase as the In-flow Translation service
evolves; and new samples will be added if applicable.
