Hi !
I've written a small module to mass-export nodes into XLIFF files because I needed a complete site-translation.
It exports all nodes to "files/xliff_export" creating sub-folders for each node-language.
Works with i18n and localizer nodes.
It uses XLIFF Tools module.

download-link now in the post
thanks
Thanks for your work. I'll look into it as soon as possible. I am now completely taken by the Drupal 6 release, but I'll designate some time for this soon, hopefully.
That's only what I needed now
I'm thinking about to extend the module with selective export (only nodes that need translation / workflow issue) and mass-import of the translated XLIFF files.
On the other hand this functionality should be part of to importexportapi-module or the xliff-module.

What about importing?
I downloaded your module and it worked great (except for a few of my coding fixes).
What about importing? How do you get the translated stuff back into your site? Are you using the localizer module? Do these things integrate. I haven't been able to figure it out yet.
Thanks,

import
Yes, maybe I'll do an mass-import also.
I needed it for a quick export to send all nodes to a translation-office.
Import is done step by step with the normal xliff-single-file-import.
I use the localizer module and import of xliff-translated files works very well.

mass xliff import
I wrote a mass import module. It works great and what a time saver.
My module will also look up the url alias for the english version and add the language code at the end.
I am going to work on adding it to the contributed modules. I have a couple of things I need to clean up.
If anyone is interested on using it please contact me at deborah.fuzetto@bluecoat.com and I can send you what I have.
I will add another comment to this thread once I have it uploaded.

Contribute it
The best thing you could do is get a CVS account, and commit the code to drupal.org.
This way others will use it, report bugs for it, fix it for you, add features, ...etc.
It does not have to be polished or pretty. It just has to basically work, then others will pick the ball where you left it.
JUST DO IT (tm).

Having a problem with the tool
Both with the original XLIFF export module and with this one, I get an empty page on the browser and no file is initiated for download when I select items and click Export.
I did allow the use in permissions.
Is there anything else that I need to configure in order to make this work?
