# XML Translation With Structure Intact

Translate XML into 75+ languages without touching the markup. Tags, attributes, CDATA, and placeholders are protected; only translatable text is replaced, and it returns to exactly the right node.

Capabilities

## What XML Translation does

### Markup is never translated

Tags, attributes, namespaces, and entity references are treated as structure, not as content.

### Placeholders survive

Variables and interpolation tokens are protected, so a translated string still renders correctly at runtime.

### Valid XML back

Output parses. You get a well-formed document per language, not a text file you have to reassemble.

### Glossary and memory

Terminology is enforced and previously approved strings are reused across every file in the set.

How it works

## Four steps, one orchestrated run

Every stage runs on the same platform, so nothing is exported, re-uploaded, or handed between tools.

- 01

### Upload the file

Drop in one XML file or a whole batch.
- 02

### Choose targets

Pick languages and the glossary to apply.
- 03

### Translate

Translatable nodes are extracted, translated, and written back in place.
- 04

### Download

Get a valid XML file per target language.

Who it is for

## Teams using XML Translation

### Technical documentation

DocBook, DITA, and custom documentation schemas.

### Product catalogues

Feed files that drive storefronts and marketplaces.

### Application resources

Android strings and other XML-backed resource sets.

### Content interchange

System-to-system payloads that must stay parseable.

FAQ

## Questions people ask

Will my XML still be valid after translation?
+

Yes. Files are parsed structurally rather than as text. Tags, attributes, namespaces, and entities are preserved and the output is a well-formed document per language.

What about variables and placeholders?
+

They are protected during translation, so interpolation tokens survive intact and translated strings still render correctly at runtime.

Can I translate many XML files at once?
+

Yes. Batch upload is supported, and translation memory is shared across the batch so repeated strings translate once and reuse everywhere.
