SDL XLIFF is an XML based file format specially developed for use in SDL Trados Studio. It is compliant with version 1.2 of the XLIFF standard. SDL XLIFF stands for SDL XML-based Localization Interchange File Format.
SDL XLIFF files are bilingual files; they contain both the source document text and the translation text.
When you start a new translation in SDL Trados Studio, the content of the source language document is placed in an SDL XLIFF file for translation. The SDL XLIFF file is placed in the same folder as the source language document.
