Angular XLIFF

Extension: .xlf
Import: yes
Export: yes

Angular XLIFF files are Angular generated files, composed of one <file> element. The <file> contains the source of the localizable data and, once translated, the corresponding localized data for one, and only one, locale.

Localizable data are stored in <trans-unit> elements. The <trans-unit> element holds a <source> element to store the source text, and a <target> element to store the latest translated text. The <target> elements are not mandatory.

Important

The export cannot be performed without setting a Default Reference Language on the project. The values in the Reference Language go to the <source> tag, while the translations end up in the <target> tag.

Documentation

Official Angular i18n documentation

To export to Angular XLIFF, set the default language in the project settings: this format stores both the source and the translation.
