CAT tool must be able to handle bi-lingual XML files May 23, 2011

Hello,

TS files are bi-lingual XML files. So I think every CAT tool that is able to handle bi-lingual XML files which means reading from the element and writing to the element will work.

thanks.. also some go-betweeners? May 23, 2011

Dear Rodolfo,

thanks for your reply. Yes, this is an option.
Is there also some tool that could "collect" all the strings in several ts files a folder and export them as tmx (or any other "standard" extension file), and then re-import the translations back into ts format??

thanks!

Swordfish generates XLIFF documents from .ts files (you can add multiple .ts files to a single XLIFF document). XLIFF is a common standard supported by most modern CAT tools.
