XLIFF Editors
@b123400 Xliffie crashes so frequently it's not usable for me. I saw similar reports on earlier versions in the app store, you should really log into your crashlytics account and correct the infinite recursion and other issues that occurs.
Try Swordfish Translation Editor, http://www.maxprograms.com/products/swordfish.html
There's also this native mac app, xlifftool
Github: https://github.com/remuslazar/osx-xliff-tool
App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/lv/app/xlifftool/id1074282695?mt=12
- Free
- Under active development
- Written in swift
- Valid developer certificate (so no security override needed to install)
- Option to "show only non-translated strings"
- Doesn't collapse whitespace on export (new in
v1.2)
No affiliation with the developer, @remuslazar, I've just been looking for a good tool like this.
No good cross platform apps?
I'd hate to be locked into Apple's walled garden :)
POEditor (Web App) only supports iPhone XLIFF, and no XLIFF2. For instance, they do not support Angular xliff.
POEditor does work with importing xmb and export to xtb (which you can then use in the app). Its a bit awkward but its the only meaningful tool I found that works with string interpolations (and at least has a free tier). Didnt try the services without free tier, though, but I did run into problems with oneskyapp.
Unfortunately OSS tools like pootle dont work with angular XLIFF.
Hi, I made my own tool for Angular translations (supports XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0)
Repo: https://github.com/DavidOndrus/xliff-translator-tool
Don't use the online editor at Brightec (http://xliff.brightec.co.uk/). After spending valuable time translating, you will be forced to use your Twitter login to get your translated file. The login prompt states:
This application will be able to:
- Read Tweets from your timeline.
- See who you follow, and follow new people.
- Update your profile.
- Post Tweets for you.
- See your email address.
Seconding do NOT use the editor from Brightec. You are navigated away from your translations entry page and they hold the data hostage so you will lose all your work unless you give them your Twitter account. They also do not support Angular translations.
Poedit supports XLIFF since v2.2, including Angular files (GitHub issue: vslavik/poedit#408).
Loca Studio supports the XLIFF 1.2 files exported by Xcode.
- Free
- Automatic QA checks
- Native app
- Distributed on the Mac App Store, sandboxed
(full disclosure: I am the lead developer)
So in conclusion, no free tool exists that lets you edit , create and update translations files using xliff format.

Hello! I made one as well, and it is open sourced :)
Xliffie is designed for developer, with functions like printf-formatted string checking (e.g. make sure
%@is present, and not a%din the translated string), search with regex, and integrated with Google / Bing translation.Would love to hear any comment!
