About .MXLIFF File Format

To do word count in MXLIFF, let’s get to know a little more about this format.

Based on XML, the XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLF or XLIFF) was created to standardize the way different CAT tools store information. As such, most modern CAT software supports XLF, though many add their own “personal touch” to the format. Examples include SDL Trados, MemoQ and Memsource. MXLIFF is the proprietary variant of XLF used by Memsource. Other CAT program will in most cases still be ably to read such files. However, some data specific to Memsource may be lost in the process.
