XLIFF Translator Tool

While there are plenty of applications that can help you manage XLIFF files, you may have had a hard time finding a simple tool that enables you to perform quick edits with no unnecessary fuss.

XLIFF Translator Tool is a lightweight piece of software that allows you to open XLIFF/XLF files, explore their contents, perform modifications and even merge multiple documents. It offers a basic feature set, but it is easy to use and features a minimalistic UI.

The application is distributed as a single executable file, which means it is remarkably simple to deploy and use. You don’t need to install anything, and the utility can be launched from any location.

Once you’ve opened the program, you will see that it sports a very minimalistic user interface, as the only UI element you will notice is the File menu. From here, you can import files and export modified ones. It would have been great if drag and drop actions were supported, but this is not a big issue.

XLIFF Translator Tool supports the XLIFF 1.2 and XLIFF 2.0 formats, and it even allows you to combine data from both of these sources. After opening the old translations file, simple import the new one to add new entries to the list.

Of course, it is possible to modify content manually, and both the order and dimensions of columns are customizable. You can even sort items based on the column headers.

It is worth noting that this utility removes unnecessary elements from the XLIFF files when saving, such as the “location” of translation is source code.

XLIFF Translator Tool is a great option for users who wish to view, edit and merge XLIFF files while keeping things simple.
