How do I bring existing XLIFF translations into Localazy?

  1. Create a project and upload the source-language XLIFF file.
  2. Upload the translated files. Localazy reads both <source> and <target> and takes the locale from the file.
  3. Check the strings in the translation table. Localazy links translations to the same unit ids as the source.

If your tool writes different original or id attributes per language, add the ignore_original or ignore_id feature to the upload configuration so the files link correctly. Learn more about how’s Localazy working with XLIFF files in the docs.

Translation memory from another tool can be imported as a TMX file into a separate project and linked via Connected Projects.
