Translations of this page?:

Translation Related File Formats

These are the different storage formats for translations and files associated with translations that are supported by the toolkit. See also conformance for standards conformance.

Common concerns in handling these files using our base classes for a uniform API are quoting and escaping.

Primary translation formats

Other translation formats

  • Java properties (also Mozilla derived properties files)
  • Mozilla DTD
  • OpenOffice.org GSI (Also called SDF)
  • PHP translation arrays
  • Qt Linguist .ts (both 1.0 and 1.1 supported, 1.0 has a converter)
  • Windows RC files (from v1.2)

Translation Memory formats

Glossary formats

Formats of translatable documents

Machine readable formats

  • Gettext .mo
  • Qt .qm (read-only)

In development

Unsupported formats

Things that we would like to support but don't currently:

Unlikely to be supported

These formats are either: too difficult to implement, undocumented, can be processed using some intermediate format or used by too few people to justify the effort. Or some combination or these issues.

  • Trados: .tmw, Trados .txt (We are unable to find good documentation for these formats, you can interchange using TMX)
