XLIFF Converter

Client tool

XLIFF Converter is a Windows desktop application for translators who need to move content between XLIFF — the standard translation interchange format — and the many other formats real projects use. It removes a tedious, error-prone manual step from localization work.

Pluggable format registry

A registry of format handlers supports bidirectional conversion across 10+ formats — CSV, JSON, gettext PO/MO, Android XML, iOS strings, .resx, .properties — through one shared conversion pipeline, so adding a format is a self-contained plugin rather than a rewrite.

XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0

Handles both major XLIFF versions in both directions, preserving translation units and segment structure on the round trip.

Translator-friendly heuristics

For loosely-structured inputs like CSV, it heuristically detects which column holds the source text versus the target from the header names, so translators are not forced to hand-map every file.
