- What is an XLIFF file? An XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) file is a standardized file format used to simplify the exchange of translation and localization data between different software tools. It contains both the source text and its translations, making it an essential tool for efficiently managing multilingual projects.
- Does Lara support XLIFF files? Yes, Lara supports XLIFF files up to version 2.0, as well as version 1.2 and all prior versions. Version 1.2 remains widely used in the localization industry and ensures smooth integration with most translation workflows, while version 2.0 introduces enhancements that improve interoperability and efficiency.
- Which version should I use? Version 1.2 is still the most popular and compatible with many translation tools, which makes it a safe choice. However, if your projects are in version 2.0, Lara now fully supports them without requiring conversion. Files in prior versions also remain fully supported.
- How to work with XLIFF files in Lara? Simply upload your XLIFF file—whether it’s version 2.0, 1.2, or an earlier version—directly into Lara. The system will analyze the file and seamlessly manage the translation process.
