The file extension SVT is associated with Stonevoice Translator, which is an open source application released under the GNU General Public License. Stonevoice Translator is designed to assist with translation tasks for the Stonevoice Application Suite and contains a host of advanced features that expedite the localization process and make translations easier.
The file extension SVT is a text/data file type that contains generic INI files, Inno setup messages, ASP/VBScript files, JavaScript variables, and other files which are used for language translation in the Stonevoice Application Suite. SVT files allow you to import translated strings from an older version of Stonevoice into the localization structure of the newer version.
When you use the localization feature, any translation you enter into the application for a translation string is automatically recorded in the dictionary. You can also use the Macros feature to create hotkeys for the localization features.
Stonevoice Translation is an older application which was eventually turned over to the open source community. The source code for the application is readily available on the Stonevoice website.
