Sisulizer Files

Sisulizer uses several different file formats. Most of them are based on XML and can easily be viewed and edited using any XML or text file compatible editor. Because of XML they can easily be added to a version control database. All XML based Sisulizer files use UTF-8 encoding.

Sisulizer Project File

Sisulizer project file (.slp) is an XML based file that contains the localization project data. All translations and modification are kept in this file. If you want to backup your project, save this file. Project file contains all information about the project including original values, layouts, translations, images, etc. If you project contains lots of image and other binary data the project file might get very large. This will slow down opening of the project file. In such case you can exclude binary resources and binary data type.
