## 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.
