# Use XLIFF files for translation

Whatfix enables you to translate content using XLIFF 2.0 files, a standard format widely adopted by translation tools and agencies. XLIFF files follow a well-defined structure and consolidate both the original text and its translations into a single file. This structure streamlines data processing for translation tools and improves collaboration among translators. The XLIFF 2.0 format is fully specified in the official documentation provided by the OASIS consortium, the developers of the XLIFF file format.
