While there are many XLIFF applications available, there was a very unique scenario that occured within my company: nobody had permission to install any external applications on their Windows machines. They did, however, all have Excel. This application does two things:
- Takes an XLIFF file and converts it to a barebones CSV file. It includes the source, target, and note fields from XLIFF.
- Once translations are placed in the CSV file, you can then convert it back to the XLIFF file. This is done in two steps:
- Select the original XLIFF file
- Select the CSV file
There is quite a bit of work that is needed on the application, but it generally works.
- Better UI/flow for importing CSV for XLIFF conversion
- Handle commas better in original text strings
