Translate XLIFF, with the inline tags kept in place

XLIFF is the format every TMS exports. Drop in your .xliff and KAERIS translates each <trans-unit> into 46 languages, keeps inline <g>/<x/> tags in place, and reads every unit back so meaning drift is caught before you re-import.

✓ Inline tags preserved ✓ trans-unit structure intact ✓ Round-trips to your TMS ✓ Placeholders kept ✓ No account needed
What breaks in XLIFF — and how KAERIS handles it

Inline tags that survive

<g id="1">bold</g> and self-closing <x/> placeholders stay exactly where they belong — drop one and read-back flags it, so your re-import doesn't fail validation.

Structure you re-import cleanly

Unit ids, order and the surrounding XML are preserved, so the file drops straight back into Crowdin, Phrase, memoQ or whatever exported it.

Meaning you can trust

Beyond structure, each translated <target> is read back into your language and checked for drift — the one thing a raw machine-translate step skips.

Real XLIFF, round-tripped

Before → after

messages.xliff (source)
<trans-unit id="greeting">
  <source>Welcome, <g id="1">{name}</g>!</source>
</trans-unit>
messages.xliff (fr target)
<trans-unit id="greeting">
  <target>Bienvenue, <g id="1">{name}</g> !</target>
</trans-unit>
