Matecat Converter is a free open-source Matecat module which offers file conversions from multiple formats to Xliff (.xlf). Even though its usage is not mandatory, it substancially improves the user experience of the site.
Matecat Converter is a server that offers a REST interface for the tasks of:
- Conversion of a file into a Xliff
- Extraction of the original file from a Xliff
- Generation of the translated (derived) file from a Xliff
In addition to that, it also frees Matecat of the following responsabilities:
- Encoding detection / handling
- Intermediate file conversions
- Interaction with the Okapi Framework
http://localhost:{SERVER-PORT}. By default, the address is http://localhost:8082.
