Extracting translation text using the Angular CLI
Now that we've marked our text, let's use the Angular CLI to extract this text and place it into an XLIFF (version 1.2 or 2) or XMB translation file, depending on your preference.
By default, an XLIFF 1.2 file is created but you use can append --i18nFormat=xmb if you would prefer the XMB format. The file created is the file that you would share with translators who would fill in the translations using an XLIFF file editor like Poedit. Once the translations are done, the translation files are returned back to you.
You can also specify the output folder with the --outputPath tag. If you also set the source language or locale code with --i18nLocale, the source language will set in the resulting XLIFF document. See the Angular CLI Command Reference for all flags.
The above command will output a *.xmb file in the locale folder.
