A VSCode extension to keep XLIFF translation files in sync with an automatically generated base-XLIFF file.
Note that there is also an "XLIFF Sync" PowerShell module!
Summary
The "XLIFF Sync" extension for Visual Studio Code can help you work more efficiently with XLIFF translation files in various ways.
It is specifically targeted at easing translation of extensions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, by allowing you to more easily keep .xlf translation files of your extensions in sync with the .g.xlf files that are automatically generated by the AL Language extension.
However, it can also be used in combination with other software projects that use XLIFF translation files for translation, supporting both XLIFF 1.2 and XLIFF 2.0.
Apart from synchronizing trans-units from a base-XLIFF file, this extension contributes various other features, including commands to check for missing translations, detect problems in translations and import translations from external XLIFF files.
