XML

Languine supports XML file localization, suitable for various XML-based configuration and content files. This format handles complex XML structures while preserving formatting and attributes.


Setting Up

First, make sure you've got a languine.json config file in your project root. Here's an example:

typescript
{
  "locale": {
    "source": "en",
    "targets": ["sv", "de", "fr"]
  },
  "files": {
    "xml": {
      "include": ["resources/[locale]/*.xml"]
    }
  }
}

Translating

With your config set, run:

typescript
npx languine@latest translate

When you run this command, Languine will:

  • Load your source XML files (e.g., resources/en/*.xml)
  • Detect any new or modified content
  • Generate translations for your target languages
  • Create or update the target language files (e.g., resources/sv/*.xml)
  • Preserve XML structure and formatting
  • Handle attribute translations
  • Maintain CDATA sections
  • Keep XML comments
  • Support XML namespaces
  • Validate XML structure
