MateCat Filters: convert any file to XLIFF and back

With MateCat Filters you can easily extract all the translatable contents of any file in a convenient XML compliant with the XLIFF standard.

Put the translated contents in the XML and use again MateCat Filters to have back the original file with all the contents translated and perfectly preserved formatting.

Fast, reliable and scalable, running everyday inside MateCat, the popular open-source CAT tool.

Test it right now on matecat.com: when you upload a file or download it again with translated contents you are using Filters!

Main features

58 formats supported

While MateCat supports 69 formats, Filters alone can handle directly 32 formats + 26 supported using the MateCat Win Converter. See the full list in the Wiki.

Advanced segmentation

Using the Unicode ICU Library, MateCat Filters implement the rules defined by the Unicode consortium to properly split sentences in every language. On top of this we also added a set of rules specifically designed for the CATs world.

Fast and scalable

Written in Java using Jetty and Okapi Framework. Efficient, multi-threaded and stateless.

Getting started

Navigate the wiki to know everything about MateCat Filters, like how to build and run and how to use the API.

However the best way to use MateCat Filters is through our public Mashape API. Advantages:

  • Istantly ready to use, zero installation / configuration.
  • Uses the same infrastructure of MateCat, with instances that are constantly monitored, optimized, and updated.
  • Transparent versioning: defaults to the cutting edge version, but automatically downgrades when you try to convert a XLIFF created with an older version of MateCat Filters.
