Is there a free XLIFF viewer for Windows that has these features:
* Is distributed as a simple Windows executable (unlike Swordfish)
* Opens the file directly—no need to create a project (unlike Heartsome)
* Has a grid Source/Target layout like Trados Studio and others (unlike Qt Linquist)
* Displays the entire text of a segment right in the grid and not elsewhere (unlike POEdit)
* Displays the statistics? (unlike POEdit)

POEdit has the first three features and is kind of acceptable, but I'd like to have the last two ones, too. I need this to show the current work progress to a customer (and have an easy reference for discussions) without uploading the file to an online CAT which is not desirable at this stage. ▲ Collapse

On a second thought, it looks like I'm overcomplicating things. I can just export the file for bilingual review as a Word document.

It's not an editor, though. It's just a viewer, and it doesn't show segment statuses. I use it regularly to export XLIFF files to TMX or an HTML table or to quickly check the contents of a file.
It sometimes hijacks the file association for a while (if I've opened an SDLXLIFF file in Disfr, the next time I double-click an SDLXLIFF file it will want to open in Disfr). This doesn't bother me much since I rarely open XLIFF files by double-clicking them -- I tend to open them from within the application that I want to open them, which isn't always the same application.
It doesn't display statistics.

Thank you Samuel! This looks like the best tool of all I have tried. Simple, no-nonsense, easy to use. For some reason, it doesn't show up in a generic Google search.

Thanks Samuel, nice simple tool.
It looks like the compare function is still not working yet, or have you found a way to compare two xliffs?

Ukrainian guys from Prothemos developed a nice and freeware compare tool back then in 2013, but later on they decided to deprecate it in favor of a web-based version.
Web version is also free:

That's quite good. I like the excel report.
The only thing it's missing is the number of words changed by segment.
Thanks for mentioning it!

Hi Samuel,
Thank you so much, I have been looking for such a tool for years.
Just something simple to display an XML file in a table. It also works with TMX as you mentioned.
