XLF Translator
Takes an uploaded XLIFF file and makes every entry that carries a translation element editable in the page, aimed mainly at the ABAP Cloud content the Maintain Translation app generates.
An XLIFF file, the XML Localization Interchange File Format, goes up through the form's Load file button, and after uploading every field in it that has a translation element is available for translation. The maker offers it as a way to translate such files without installing an additional tool. What it is mainly used for is ABAP Cloud content, which the Maintain Translation app generates as XLIFF Version 1.2.
