Description
The XLIFF addon is aimed at teams translating multilingual sites, agencies sending content to CAT tools, and editorial workflows needing to review texts outside the dashboard, with exporting WPML jobs in XLIFF files and importing completed translations back into WordPress. It reduces manual copying of texts between screens, preserves the structure of translatable segments, and keeps the process connected to WPML’s multilingual management.
