XML language pack formats supported by the importer

Although XML is a generic file format that can take any structure, there are many common schemas for translation files.

TMX

TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) can support multiple languages in the same file. When using the Loco importer, only one language will be extracted at a time, so be sure to specify which locale you are importing.

 XLIFF

XLIFF (Localization Interchange File Format) is used by various frameworks including Symfony for PHP and Xcode. This format also supports multiple locales, so be sure to tell Loco which locale you're importing.
