Description
SpecialCase XLIFF Bridge for ACF and Polylang is a professional tool designed to streamline the translation workflow for WordPress sites using ACF and Polylang. It bridges the gap between custom field content and CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools.
The plugin allows you to export text from all native and custom fields created via ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) from any page or post into the industry-standard XLIFF format. Once translated, the file can be imported back directly into the linked Polylang translation.
Main Features
- Complete Export: Extracts content from all ACF fields into a single XLIFF file.
- Seamless Workflow: Export from the source language and import directly into the target language translation.
- Professional Translation Ready: Compatible with major CAT tools like Trados, Smartcat, or Phrase.
- Automatic Sync: Automatically populates the linked post’s fields upon import.
