Schema-Aware Extraction
Translation filters are configured per XML schema type so only the correct elements and attributes are extracted. Generic XML parsers that translate everything are not used.
Parser-Based XML Translation for Reliable Results
XML files can contain translatable text in element content, attribute values, or CDATA sections. The same XML schema may carry product names that need translation in one element and product codes that must never be changed in the adjacent element. A translation workflow that treats an XML file as plain text will produce an output that is syntactically broken or semantically wrong.

XML Translation: Key Capabilities
Attribute Value Protection
ID, href, src, type, and other non-translatable attribute values are locked. Only attribute values explicitly identified as user-facing text (such as title and alt) are translated.
CDATA and Encoded Entities
CDATA sections containing HTML or other markup are handled correctly. XML-encoded entities such as & and < are preserved without double-encoding.
Android and iOS String Resources
Android strings.xml files and Apple Localizable.strings (when wrapped in XML) follow specific structural conventions that are respected in our translation workflow.

XML Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about translating XML data files.
How do you know which XML elements in my file should be translated?
We ask you to identify the translatable elements or provide a sample of the XML schema documentation. For common XML formats such as XLIFF, RSS, Atom, SVG, and Android strings.xml, standard extraction rules are already configured. For custom schemas, we set up a custom extraction profile and confirm the rules with you before translation begins.
Can you translate XML files that contain both text and binary data?
Yes. Base64-encoded binary data in XML elements is recognized as non-text and locked. XML files with mixed text and data content are handled by identifying and locking all non-text elements before extraction.
Do you support XML namespaces?
Yes. XML namespaces are fully supported. Namespace declarations and prefixed element names are preserved in the output file. Namespace-qualified attributes are handled according to the extraction rules defined for the specific XML format.
