XLIFF Editors
So in conclusion, no free tool exists that lets you edit , create and update translations files using xliff format.
Incorrect, you can use Swordfish for that: https://github.com/rmraya/Swordfish
Take a look at this tutorial: https://www.codeandweb.com/babeledit/tutorials/how-to-translate-your-angular-app-with-xlf-files
I've successfully used Loca Studio app @bobergj has mentioned above. Here's my observations:
- The app crashed once for no reason. I've lost some work. Gladly, not too much. After that I was manually pressing Cmd+S regularly
- The app seems to be made for iOS' apps translation so it kinda thinks you're doing something wrong a bit while editing a file for a mac app. It won't not let you do what you're doing though.
Anyway, I can recommend this app. All the other instruments I found via. my quick search were not usable or were paid.
Hi, I was a bit shocked that such a simple tool did not exist for free online… like i needed just a simple viewer to check the files and not even that existed online; i had to install the mac app to do so… so I decided to quickly spin up a free online viewer here : https://mrmadhav.github.io/xliff-editor/
use and test as you like… its free and opensource..
@mrmadhav your tool does no tsupport XLIFF 2.1 or 2.2
@rmraya thanks for the feedback, could you help by posting an issue on the github here: https://github.com/mrmadhav/xliff-editor
If you could provide sample files for testing, it would be very helpful. I have very limited knowledge of xliff and only came upon this file format when working on one of my clients.
