Translate XLIFF files: Simple and efficient

1. What is an XLIFF file?

XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) is an XML-based format used to standardize the translation and localization process of software, documents, and other content. It was introduced by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) to simplify data exchange between different localization tools.

2. Main uses of XLIFF files

Software Internationalization

Applications, websites, and video games operating globally use XLIFF files to manage and translate multilingual content of websites, including the translation of interface, message prompts, help documents, character names, menu items, and other content.

Translation Management System (TMS)

In large translation and localization projects, XLIFF files can be used to exchange content between different translation management systems, helping to improve workflow efficiency and consistency.

For example, using CAT tools (such as SDL Trados, MemoQ, OmegaT, etc.) for translation, managing projects in translation management systems (such as Crowdin, Transifex, Phrase), and simplifying content exchange during multi-team or multi-vendor collaboration.

Multilingual communication for enterprises

Large multinational companies need to maintain multilingual internal and external communication, including multilingual announcements and communications, email templates, policy documents, training and development materials, multilingual policy and compliance documents, etc. The XLIFF format helps in the standardization and management of these contents.

API and Machine Translation Integration

Modern translation and localization work can be easily automated through APIs and machine translation engines (such as Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, etc.), and XLIFF files can be conveniently used for these integrations.

For example, automatically exporting and importing XLIFF files through APIs, pre-translating text content using machine translation engines, and integrating translation memory (TM) and terminology databases (TB) to improve translation quality.
