• XLIFF -- bilingual XLIFF files (XLIFF specification 1.1 and 1.2)
• TXT -- tab separated key pair files ( tab )

Adaptable File Converters
RC-WinTrans makes use of external (not part of the RC-WinTrans application) converters to convert data to / from a given format (format "X") to / from the XLIFF file format. This system makes it possible to support the translation/ localization of various file formats.

Additional file formats can be translated by hooking in a converter that can read and write a specific format.
