XliffParser

This library is intended as a thin layer above the original markup to help access the contents of XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) files.

Its main purposes are:

• reading values from a XLIFF file
• changing values inside a XLIFF file
• exporting translation data to C# resource files (resx)
• updating XLIFF file from C# resource files (resx)

More information on XLIFF can be found here:

• OASIS XLIFF v1.1
• OASIS XLIFF v1.2
• OASIS XLIFF v2.0 (Not yet supported!)

Examples

Reading values from a XLIFF file

var doc = new XliffParser.XlfDocument(fileName);
var xlfFile = doc.Files.Single();
foreach (var u in xlfFile.TransUnits)
{
    // id | source | target | target state
    Console.WriteLine("{0}|{1}|{2}", u.Id, u.Source, u.Target, u.Optional.TargetState);
}

Changing values inside a XLIFF file

var unit = xlfFile.AddTransUnit("MyResourceId", "some resouce string", "my awesome translation");
unit.Optional.TargetState = "translated";
unit.Optional.AddNote("No comment!", "XliffParser");
doc.Save();

Exporting translation data to C# resource files (resx)

doc.SaveAsResX();

Updating XLIFF file from C# resource files (resx)

var result = doc.UpdateFromSource();
Console.WriteLine("updated: {0}, added: {1}, removed: {2}",
    result.UpdatedItems.Count(), result.AddedItems.Count(), result.RemovedItems.Count());
