About

XLIFF 1.2 holds source text and translations unit by unit. Xcode localisation exports, Angular i18n and Symfony translations use it. This is the strict schema, which leaves out elements deprecated in 1.2.

Good to know

  • Tool-specific extensions in other namespaces are accepted as the schema allows. Placeholders inside source and target are not compared.
  • The example is by xmlvalid.com.
