Hello, Here is a list of XLIFF related tools:
* Transolution http://transolution.python-hosting.com/ an XLIFF editor with filters for SGML based formats (HTML, XML, Docbook, OpenOffice) and PO. It also provides a Translation Memory server (which can use TMX files), and a tool to convert XLIFF to TMX. * xlifftool http://xliff-tools.freedesktop.org/wiki/Projects/xlifftool It permits to convert PO to XLIFF and XLIFF to PO. It also provides xlfpoinit and xlfpomerge, the equivalent of msginit and msgmerge, for XLIFF files. I don't think these tools support all XLIFF files. It seems it only support XLIFF that were converted from a PO. There are also some Java filters: xliff-tools. I did not tried them. * OmegaT http://www.omegat.org/omegat/omegat.html A translator GUI. It supports tag based formats (HTML, OpenOffice) and plain text. It can use and generate a TMX. It generate the translated documents and the XLIFF. I'm not sure it can be packaged for Debian (requires Swing, requires an Apple's .jar) Also the dependency chain is quite important. * omegat+ http://omegatplus.sourceforge.net/ It seems this one don't have the same dependencies than OmegaT. It should be easier to package on Debian. I don't know if it is as complete as OmegaT (or maybe more complete). * XML-TMX http://search.cpan.org/~ambs/XML-TMX-0.13/lib/XML/TMX.pm Perl extensions for managing TMX files. It provides some TMX manipulation modules and the following scripts: po2tmx - convert POs to XLIFFs? tmx2tmx - can probably act like the msgcat tool tmx2html - can display a TMX tmxsplit - split the TMX per language * translate-toolkit (pootle) Already in Debian. It provides filters to convert PO to other formats, and provides the po2tmx, po2xliff and xliff2po utilities. These utility are marked as beta. * SUN's open-language-tools https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/ It is licensed under CDDL. It can't entre main currently. I don't know if it could be shiped in non-free in Debian. I've not tried it. With xlifftool, we can probably convert any PO to create an XLIFF file. However, I'm not sure we can do the reverse conversion with any XLIFF file. Maybe translate-toolkit's tools are better. Clytie (and others), you mentioned a good XLIFF2PO. Is it one of the above? Also, did you encountered any issue due to providing POs to LocFactoryEditor? Would the translations be easier if we could provide you XLIFF files instead of POs? If you want to tests this softwares, I've made Debian packages for Transolution, xlifftool and XML-TMX: https://nekral.homelinux.net/pootle/ (online when I'm not sleeping) Omegat doesn't need to be installed (java -jar omegat.jar should be sufficient to test it).
