XLIFF localization tools for Xcode 6 [closed]

xcode localization nslocalizedstring xliff

Xcode 6 introduced a new localization workflow which uses the open .XLIFF format. Xcode extracts the strings from NSLocalizedString, strings in storyboards / XIB files and creates a single XLIFF file for each localization.

I'm looking for good localization tools that translators can use to open and edit the files exported by Xcode.

The translated file needs to be saved as .XLIFF and then imported into Xcode. Xcode creates a new localization for the target language specified in the XLIFF file or updates the existing localization.

Which localization tool(s) do you recommend?

Don't really have an answer, but when this was released, Apple claimed the major translators already supported this format. Might be worth reaching out to them to see what they use. – Biparietal 16/10, 2014 at 19:53

According to the CAT Tools Wikipedia article almost all tools claim XLIFF support. – Marchak 4/8, 2015 at 12:16

But many need a tool for John Doe the unknown student translator on fiverr. For sure the large 10x as expensive professional translating companies already support it. – Endure 13/8, 2015 at 14:28

XLIFF is introduced some years ago and there's bunch of tools which support XLIFF.

I haven't check them all in detail, but my choice was CounterParts. I requested a trial, and it's pretty neat. (I am not affiliated with the product in any way, but the OP asked for a recommendation). – Putter 13/12, 2014 at 0:44

With iLocalize and XCode 6 you get missing original attribute errors and import stops :-( – Endure 13/8, 2015 at 14:29

Works but terrible usage. Makes translation twice or three times as expensive. – Endure 13/8, 2015 at 14:30

Bad service. Used it a little. – Deactivate 13/2, 2019 at 9:55

Heartsome's GPL XLIFF editor is the most complete and standard compliant solution. It used to be a closed tool but they released the code under the GPL a while ago.
