How it works
What XLIFF QA Check does, what it does not do, what it costs, and what happens to your data.
What it does
- Reads XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0 files, SDLXLIFF files from Trados Studio, and MQXLIFF files from memoQ, entirely in the browser.
- Finds empty or missing translations, translations identical to the source, number mismatches, and missing or extra inline tags.
- Finds inconsistent translations in both directions: the same source translated differently, and the same translation used for different sources.
- Checks glossary terms from a CSV, Excel (.xlsx), or TBX file.
- Lets you mark false positives with a reason; the full version downloads an Excel and PDF report for a client or agency, and checks up to 50 files together.
What it does not do
- Does not read Phrase (.mxliff), TMX, PO, or other formats yet, or translation memories.
- Does not check grammar, spelling, punctuation, or meaning, and does not use machine translation or AI.
- Does not edit or save your translation files; fix problems in your translation tool.
- The PDF summary shows non-Latin text (for example Japanese or Russian) only in the Excel report.
- The free version checks one file at a time.
Price
- Free: Check one file at a time with all checks and a glossary, with results on screen.

Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Files are read in your browser tab and never leave your device. You can check with your browser's network panel.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, or Linux. There is nothing to install.
Can I tell my agency which errors are false positives?
Yes. Mark a problem as a false positive and pick a reason. The report shows each problem with its status and reason.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the page and drop a file. The full version is a one-time payment unlocked with a license key.
