XML

Babely supports XML file localization, suitable for various XML-based configuration and content files. This format handles complex XML structures while preserving formatting and attributes.

Setting Up

First, make sure you've got a babely.json config file in your project root. Here's an example:

{
  "locale": {
    "source": "en",
    "targets": ["sv", "de", "fr"]
  },
  "files": {
    "xml": {
      "include": ["resources/[locale]/*.xml"]
    }
  }
}

Translating

With your config set, run:

npmyarnpnpmbun
npx babely@latest translate

When you run this command, Babely will:

• ◇Load your source XML files (e.g., resources/en/*.xml)
• ◇Detect any new or modified content
• ◇Generate translations for your target languages
• ◇Create or update the target language files (e.g., resources/sv/*.xml)
• ◇Preserve XML structure and formatting
• ◇Handle attribute translations
• ◇Maintain CDATA sections
• ◇Keep XML comments
• ◇Support XML namespaces
• ◇Validate XML structure
