Supported file types
Counterparts Lite can open the following file formats:
- .strings
- Apple’s string table file format used in most Mac applications. Those files can be either a text file or a binary file. Counterparts Lite can open both text and binary variants. Note that when those files are in binary format comments are not present in the file and ordering is not preserved.
- .xliff .xlf
- XLIFF (XML Localisation Interchange File Format) is a standard format compatible with many localization tools. Counterparts Lite can open XLIFF files produced by Xcode and other tools that only use unsegmented plain text in translation units. It cannot be used to create XLIFF documents nor add or remove entries to existing documents.
