XLIFFChecker is a free and easy to use tool that checks your documents against the XLIFF DTD (version 1.0) or XLIFF Schemas (versions 1.1 and 1.2).

XLIFFChecker also verifies if they follow the requirements described in XLIFF specifications. XLIFF is a complex format and verifying against an XML grammar is not enough to ensure compliance with the standard.

XLIFF is becoming increasingly popular as exchange format between users of CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tools. Compliance with the official specifications published by OASIS is essential for allowing interoperability between tools.

XLIFFChecker supports XLIFF versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 in its two flavours (Strict and Transitional).

Requirements:

· Java 1.5 or later

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Validated attributes of XLIFF 1.1 and XLIFF 1.2 Transitional against a special table due to a bug in the original schemas. The bug allows any attribute in XLIFF elements without declaring a separate namespace.
· Modified XLIFF 1.2 schemas in the XML catalog, commenting the "merged-trans" attribute in element. According to the specification document, this attribute is only allowed in the element.
