SDLXLIFF translator for enterprise results in any language

An SDLXLIFF file is a type of Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) file that is for use with SDL Trados Studio. It is a bilingual file format that facilitates translation projects, based on the XML XLIFF format. 

SDLXLIFF files contain both the source text and the target translation text, as well as metadata including segment status, formatting, and translation memory matches. With an SDLXLIFF file, you can perform translation and editing workflows while preserving the structure and content of your original document in your target translation.

SDL Trados Studio is a type of translation software that translators, editors, and project managers use to manage and carry out translation projects. It provides users with key translation workflow features including translation memory, terminology management, and machine translation integration. 

SDL Trados Studio supports various file formats, including SDLXLIFF. It is designed to improve efficiency and consistency in translation processes through advanced tools and automation.

To translate an SDLXLIFF file, you need a translation tool like SDL Trados Studio or Smartcat. 

In Smartcat, you can upload the SDLXLIFF file directly to your Smartcat workspace. The Smartcat platform automatically segments the SDLXLIFF file for translation. 

This process typically takes seconds. You can then AI-translate the segments with Smartcat AI. If you have a translation memory, you can upload it, but if not, Smartcat creates one automatically for you. 

You can then invite your own human linguistic reviewers to review and edit in Smartcat Editor, or assign subject matter expert reviewers from Smartcat Marketplace.
Once you have completed your translation, simply export your translated SDLXLIFF file or convert it into another format, as per your requirements. 

There is no need to outsource the SDLXLIFF file translation process with Smartcat. You can manage and centralize the entire end-to-end workflow from your Smartcat workspace.

Choosing Smartcat for your translation needs provides several advantages.

Convert SDLXLIFF files to Word with ease and speed by using Smartcat. Upload your SDLXLIFF file in seconds to your Smartcat workspace. Input your language combination for AI translation. Once Ai translation completes, typically in seconds, you can download your original file in a range of document formats, including Word – DOCX or bilingual DOCX.

You can also download your automatically translated file in the same way, in Word format or other formats, such as PDF, TMX, CSV, and more.

Creating a translation memory (TM) from an SDLXLIFF file is straightforward with tools like Smartcat. After uploading your SDLXLIFF file, Smartcat automatically segments the text, and you can save these segments into a translation memory as you translate. 

This TM can then be reused for future projects, improving consistency and efficiency. Additionally, Smartcat allows you to upload existing SDLXLIFF files and extract their content to create a TM, even if you don’t translate the file within the platform.

An SDLXLIFF file can be opened using translation tools like SDL Trados Studio or Smartcat. In Smartcat, simply upload your SDLXLIFF file to your Smartcat workspace. You can then translate and/or edit your file. Smartcat gives you total control over your SDLXLIFF file, including the ability to view, edit, automatically translate, and manage the content within your file. 

You can also take advantage of Smartcat features including translation memory, glossary, Translation Quality Score, and the fully collaborative Smartcat Editor to optimize your translation process and results.

SDL Trados Studio allows you to translate PDFs. The software first converts the PDF into a more manageable format, such as Microsoft Word, before beginning the translation process. After translation, you can export the document back into PDF format. 

However, for a more streamlined and collaborative experience, you can use Smartcat, which also supports PDF translation with integrated translation memory and machine translation features.

To recreate a bilingual SDLXLIFF file in SDL Trados Studio, you typically have to start with your original source file. If you have a corresponding translation memory and glossary, this will facilitate a smoother process.

Open your source file in Trados Studio, which automatically generates an SDLXLIFF file containing both the source and target language segments. If you already have a translated file, you can align it with your source file in Trados to generate a bilingual SDLXLIFF file that can be used for further editing or reference.
