XML underpins product catalogs, CMS content exports, Android string resources, and localization exchange formats. BeTranslated translates XML files with a parser-based workflow that identifies exactly which elements and attributes contain translatable text, leaving all markup, schemas, and data values untouched.
XML files can contain translatable text in element content, attribute values, or CDATA sections. The same XML schema may carry product names that need translation in one element and product codes that must never be changed in the adjacent element. A translation workflow that treats an XML file as plain text will produce an output that is syntactically broken or semantically wrong.
BeTranslated uses a parser-based XML translation approach. For each XML format, we configure a translation filter that identifies exactly which elements and attributes contain translatable content. All other elements, attributes, and data values are locked. The delivered XML file is schema-valid, correctly encoded, and ready to reimport into your system.
Translation filters are configured per XML schema type so only the correct elements and attributes are extracted. Generic XML parsers that translate everything are not used.
ID, href, src, type, and other non-translatable attribute values are locked. Only attribute values explicitly identified as user-facing text (such as title and alt) are translated.
CDATA sections containing HTML or other markup are handled correctly. XML-encoded entities such as & and < are preserved without double-encoding.
Android strings.xml files and Apple Localizable.strings (when wrapped in XML) follow specific structural conventions that are respected in our translation workflow.

Everything you need to know about translating XML Data files.
We ask you to identify the translatable elements or provide a sample of the XML schema documentation. For common XML formats such as XLIFF, RSS, Atom, SVG, and Android strings.xml, standard extraction rules are already configured. For custom schemas, we set up a custom extraction profile and confirm the rules with you before translation begins.
Yes. Base64-encoded binary data in XML elements is recognized as non-text and locked. XML files with mixed text and data content are handled by identifying and locking all non-text elements before extraction.
Yes. XML namespaces are fully supported. Namespace declarations and prefixed element names are preserved in the output file. Namespace-qualified attributes are handled according to the extraction rules defined for the specific XML format.
Send us your XML Data file and we will quote within one business day. Format preserved, meaning accurate, delivered on time.
