Can't find a working free xliff editor for OSX Lion

Question

Attempts

I tried:

• Virtaal
• PoEdit (not xliff but convertible)
• Open Language Tools TransEditor
• LocFactory Editor

And I think I'm getting nuts.

Virtaal

With Virtaal it seems I can't create files (or am I to stupid ?). Also when I open the tutorial .po and try to save that, Virtaal crashes.

PoEdit

With PoEdit I can create a new project but on finishing he throws me an error:

Poedit did not find any files in scanned directories. Entries in the catalog are probably incorrect. Updating the catalog failed. Click on 'More>>' for details.

Open Language Tools TransEditor

And in Open Language Tools TransEditor I created a new project but I can't create any new lines/translations.

LocFactory Editor

I also tried LocFactory Editor. When I launch it I get

No document could be created

And in the menus I also can't find anything like New File or so.

Question

So what is that ? Am I to dumb to create xliff files using an xliff editor ? should I google for xliff creator or what ?

Requirements

• I want to have xliff files for a FLOW3 project.
• I'd like to use an editor that supports plural forms.
• Support for Mac OS X

Hi you can try this one XLIFFTool

the UI could be improved, but it's free and works as expected. – Novak

Answer 2

You may want to try OmegaT.

It's not just for XLIFF, but it should work reasonably well with XLIFF documents. Make sure the elements have a copy of the text to translate before opening the file in OmegaT. You can also use Rainbow to create an OmegaT project with XLIFF files: it will add the copy of the source text for you.

Hope this helps, -ys
