I've been translating XML files for a client using Trados Studio, but are there better tools out there?

This really depends on the nature of the XML files. Are they bilingual files? Do all text outside of the tags need to be translated? Does some text inside of tags also need to be translated, e.g. attributes? Are there "internal tags", i.e. are there tags that occur in mid-sentence? These types of questions affect which tools may or may not be suitable for the translation. "XML" is a very large category of files and different XML files require different approaches.
