XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) serializer for Django

Project description

Full documentation is at Read the Docs.

XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) is an XML-based format created to standardize the way localizable data are passed between tools during localization. OASIS standardized XLIFF in 2002. Django-XLIFF conforms to version 1.2.

XLIFF is a bit more verbose than the Django’s standard XML output. Sample output looks like (extra white space added for readability:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xliff xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2"
       version="1.2"
       xmlns:d="https://docs.djangoproject.com/">
  <file datatype="database"
        source-language="en-us"
        original="simpleapp.tag.2">

      <group resname="simpleapp.tag.2" restype="row">
        <trans-unit resname="data"
                    translate="no"
