XML schemas supported by Loco's file importer

Although XML is a generic file format that can take any structure, there are many common schemas for translation files.

XLIFF

XLIFF (Localization Interchange File Format) is used by various frameworks including Symfony for PHP, and Xcode. This format also supports multiple locales, so be sure to tell Loco which locale you're importing.

TMX

Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) can support multiple languages in the same file. When using the Loco importer, only one language will be extracted at a time, so be sure to specify which locale you are importing.

TBX

TermBase eXchange (TBX) is a standardized format for representing glossaries. Loco can export to TBX files, and has limited support for importing them.

Apple property lists

Loco can import .plist formatted XML and the equivalent binary .bplist.
