So when you test your app on that localization, it will have blank for that translation instead of Capital Letters, meaning that it is not yet translated. If you leave an item with no translation, it will put a blank target instead of leaving it alone. Can’t copy Source to get the original formattingħ. Messed Up Xcode xml formatting when saved (Doesn’t matter if you use a tool like this for your xliff)ĥ. Can’t sort by clicking the title (not essential but nice to have)Ĥ. Can’t search/filter for no translation itemsģ. Doesn’t have any GUI on startup (Feels like it doesn’t work for new users)Ģ. These are the list of my observations that could be improved:ġ.

I was gonna give it 4 stars with the consideration for being the first version but it has a bad behaviour of putting blank targets for items that has no translation. That is when I realized that the app works! I thought it was a new feature of Xcode since I just downloaded the latest version of Xcode recently then I was surprised that the XLIFFTool Icon is in my dashboard. I double clicked my xliff file, expecting it to run through Xcode and it had a different GUI.

I was planning to just open my xliff file created from Xcode with it and just deal it with manually through xml format like old times :). I thought it doesn’t work but I ACCIDENTALLY made it work because I forgot to uninstall it yesterday! The reason I thought it was not working at all is because the app doesn’t have a GUI when you just run the app from application launchpad.
