Handling XML exports from WordPress

Question

Good afternoon all! We need to localise a website generated in WordPress. Unfortunately, the web designer skipped using the WPML plugin and just exported the whole site in a single XML. 
 As a result, the word count ballooned from around 6.5k to >145k, obviously reflecting huge amounts of CDATA. 
 Has anyone found a workaround for this, just in case the web designer fails to generate XLIFF files? 
 Many thanks in advance. 
 Kind regards, 
 Ralf

Indeed it worked! With a little help from the Support team (thanks, Edith!), this worked a charm. Pretty straightforward, actually - provided you know what you're looking for... ;)

 Multilingual or mon-lingual? 
 If it's multilingual use the Multilingual XML filetype, and if it's monolingual just create a custom XML filetype. 
 Or are you really interested in some sort of solution to take the XML file you have and do something else with it before bringing it into a translation environment?
