Encoding Preservation
UTF-8, UTF-16, and ISO-8859 encodings are preserved. The delivered file uses the same character encoding as the source, ensuring compatibility with your existing systems.
When Plain Text Still Needs Professional Translation
TXT files appear simple but often contain nuances that require care: UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding, Unix or Windows line endings, key-value string pairs, tab-delimited data, or inline variables enclosed in brackets or percentage signs. A translator who delivers a Word document from a TXT source creates unnecessary integration work.

TXT Translation: Key Capabilities
Placeholder and Variable Handling
Inline variables such as %name%, {count}, or {{placeholder}} are identified and locked before translation so they are never inadvertently translated or broken.
Line Ending Consistency
Unix (LF) and Windows (CRLF) line endings are matched to the source file. Your parsing scripts and build tools receive exactly the format they expect.
Batch Processing
Large volumes of TXT files, common in software localization projects, are processed in batch with consistent terminology applied across all files using a project glossary.

TXT Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about translating Plain text files.
Can you translate TXT files that contain key-value string pairs?
Yes. Key-value formats where the key should not be translated and the value should are handled by locking all keys before translation begins. Please include a note about the format structure when submitting. If your strings file uses a specific format such as Android strings.xml or Apple .strings, consider using the XML or JSON format pages for more specific information.
How do you handle TXT files with mixed language content?
If a TXT file contains content in multiple source languages that all need translating into one target language, we handle this as a multi-source project. Quote on request with the language breakdown included in your submission.
What is the turnaround for large TXT file batches?
Turnaround for plain text depends on word count rather than file count. We calculate word count after receiving the files and provide a firm quote and timeline. Rush processing for large TXT batches is available with advance notice.
