XML workflow
Translation example
An XML product catalogue, English to Spanish
A two-product catalogue written for this page, with attributes, prices, tags and a notice. Element and attribute names, ids, currency and prices stay; the text values are translated and the lang attribute follows the text.
Source

Same elements in the same order

Whether it's an API response, a product feed, a config file, or app localization strings, your translated XML is well-formed and ready for production.
How ForgeFile Translates XML Files
Our translation engine parses XML structure before translating. When you translate an XML file, ForgeFile:
- Parses the full DOM tree - elements, attributes, namespaces, and nesting hierarchy
- Identifies translatable text nodes and separates them from code, attributes, and data values
- Translates only text content using context-aware AI - tags, schemas, and data structures are never modified
The result is a well-formed, valid XML file you can deploy directly - no broken schemas, no missing closing tags.

- XML namespaces and prefixes are preserved exactly
- Attributes, entity references, and processing instructions stay intact

XML Translation FAQ - Common Questions Answered
How do I translate an XML file online?
Upload your XML file to ForgeFile, select your target language, and click Translate. Our AI identifies text nodes and translates them while preserving all tags, attributes, and schema structure.
Are XML tags and attributes preserved?
Absolutely. ForgeFile parses the full DOM tree and translates only text content. All tags, attributes, namespaces, nesting, and element order remain untouched.
Are namespaces and schema validation preserved?
Yes. XML namespaces, prefixes, and schema references are preserved exactly. The translated file remains valid against the same schema as the original.
How are CDATA sections handled?
CDATA sections are recognized and handled correctly. Text inside CDATA is translated while the CDATA markers are preserved without unintended escaping.
Can I translate Android or iOS localization files?
Yes. ForgeFile handles Android strings.xml, iOS plists, and other app localization XML formats with full structure preservation.
Is there a file size limit?
For larger files or automated CI/CD pipelines, contact us about enterprise plans with API access and higher limits. The maximum file size depends on your plan.
Is my XML data secure during translation?
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. How long they are kept depends on your plan.
What is the difference between translating XML and JSON files?
XML uses tags and attributes for structure, JSON uses key-value pairs. ForgeFile handles both natively - preserving tags and namespaces for XML, and keys and nesting for JSON.
