XLIFF

Acronym for XML Localization Interchange File Format (commonly pronounced "ex-lif"). A translation exchange format in which content needing translation can be exported into a file. Translations of the content are added to that same file, which is then re-imported. Many CMS have built-in XLIFF support, though it is an older standard. Newer CMS often use AI to perform persistance-time or request-time translations, rather than asynchronous export/translate/import workflows.
