Generate "XLIFF translation files" from "PHP array translation files"
=====================================================================

[](#generate-xliff-translation-files-from-php-array-translation-files)

This little handy Contao backend extension simply converts contao php translation files into their xliff (\*.xlf) pendants. The newly generated files will be stored side by side to the already existing php files. Already existing \*.xlf files will be overwritten.

Changing the source language
============================

[](#changing-the-source-language)

The source language for all Contao Core XLIFF files is English (en). If you like to change this setting you have to do this in your project config in `config/config.yml`.

```
# config/config.yml
markocupic_contao_php2xliff:
  sourceLanguage: it # Switch the source language to Italian
```
