SDLXLIFF Text Extractor

This PowerShell script extracts the source and translated text from SDLXLIFF files in a specified folder and outputs them to separate .txt files. Each line in the output file contains a source text and its corresponding translated text, separated by a tab character.

Prerequisites

• PowerShell

Usage

1. Create a batch file named Run.bat with the following content:

@echo off
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File "SDLXLIFF2PlaneText.ps1"

2. Save the batch file in the same directory as the PowerShell script (SDLXLIFF2PlaneText.ps1).
3. Double-click the Run.bat file or run it from the command prompt to execute the PowerShell script.
4. When prompted, enter the path to the directory containing the SDLXLIFF files you want to process:

Dir: [FolderPath]

Replace [FolderPath] with the path to the target directory.

Example

Suppose the batch file is named Run.bat. Double-click the batch file or run it from the command prompt:

Run.bat

When prompted, enter the path to the directory containing the SDLXLIFF files:

Dir: C:\\Users\\Username\\Documents\\SDLXLIFF_Files

The script will process all SDLXLIFF files in the specified folder and its subdirectories, and output corresponding .txt files with extracted source and translated text in the same location as the input files.

Script Overview

The script performs the following steps:

1. Prompts the user for the folder path containing the SDLXLIFF files.
2. Recursively processes all files in the specified folder with a .sdlxliff extension.
3. Loads the XML data from each SDLXLIFF file and extracts the source and translated text.
4. Outputs the extracted source and translated text to a new .txt file, with each line containing a source text and its corresponding translated text separated by a tab character.
