About:
Xliff Editor is a specialized tool for managing XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) files, commonly used in software localization. It provides a streamlined interface for translators and developers to edit translation strings, metadata, and context without dealing with raw XML. The application helps ensure consistency and accuracy across multilingual software projects.
Key Features:
  • Dual-pane interface for source and target language comparison
  • Built-in validation for XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0 specifications
  • Translation memory and glossary support
  • Batch processing and file merging capabilities
  • Real-time syntax highlighting and error detection
Use Cases:
  • Translating software applications by editing XLIFF localization files
  • Reviewing and validating translations from translation management systems
  • Merging multiple localization files from different translators
  • Managing multilingual content for iOS and Android mobile applications
Alternatives:
  • Poedit – Focuses on Gettext (.po) files rather than XLIFF, better for open-source projects
  • VS Code with XML extensions – Generic XML editor without XLIFF-specific features like translation memory
  • Smartcat – Cloud-based CAT tool with XLIFF support but requires online access and subscription
