Open Language Tools is a Java project released by Sun Microsystems under the terms of Sun’s CDDL (a GPL-incompatible free software license).[1]
Open Language Tools are intended for people who are involved in translation of software and documentation into different natural languages (localisation engineers, translators, etc.). They are based around common localisation industry standard file formats such as XLIFF and TMX.
Open Language Tools consist of the XLIFF Filters designed to convert different source file formats to XLIFF and the XLIFF Translation Editor which is designed to read and edit XLIFF files. They are written in Java and run on Windows, Mac OS, or Linux as long as Java J2RE (at least 1.4.2) is installed.
Workflow
XLIFF Filters
This is an application designed to convert different source file formats to an XLIFF format. It is currently based around the XLIFF 1.0 specification. The conversion is simple. Launch the filters, drag and drop a source file on the application, and the file will be converted to a .xlz file in the same directory as the source file. What basically happens is that the filter:
- reads and parses the source file,
- separates the translatable portions of the text from the non-translatable portions by breaking the file into blocks
- further segments the translatable blocks into smaller sections, typically sentences, and
- writes the XLIFF file (.xlf) and the skeleton file (.skl) which are further bundled within a zip archive with the .xlz extension.
