What XLIFF contains
XLIFF is an exchange format for localization tools. It can represent source text, targets and additional metadata. LangKit supports a subset of XLIFF import and export for common translation workflows.
Protect placeholders
Keep XML markup and dynamic variables intact. The free QA checker validates supported placeholder patterns. For complex inline XLIFF codes, do a dedicated round-trip test before relying on an export.
Versioned review
Collaborators can submit alternative wording and reviewers can accept it after source/revision checks. Published website strings remain approval-gated.
Common questions
Is all XLIFF metadata preserved losslessly?
No. Advanced constructs need additional round-trip verification.
Can I review before applying updates?
Yes, use the incremental import preview.
Before relying on this in production
Confirm support for your resource syntax and test exported translations in your application. Documentation describes supported workflows, not a guarantee of lossless conversion for every specialized format.
