xlf-merge

Command line tool that merges any number of XLF 1.2 files.

Useful for Angular apps where the NG compiler requires single translation file per language. If your translations are organized into many small XLF files you can run this tool to merge them before invoking Angular compilation.

Installation

npm install -g @inghamdev/xlf-merge
yarn global add @inghamdev/xlf-merge

Usage

  • Accespts any number of input files (wildcards supported)
  • Requires single output file path (-o parameter)
  • If an input file contains a translation (and another input has the same target) they are merged across.
# Merges three input files into output.xlf
xlf-merge input1.xlf input2.xlf input3.xlf -o output.xlf

# Merges all language-specific XLF files in directory i18n into a file containing all translations per language
xlf-merge i18n/*.en.xlf -o all.en.xlf
xlf-merge i18n/*.de.xlf -o all.de.xlf
xlf-merge i18n/*.fr.xlf -o all.fr.xlf
