Versions.

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.28.3
node: 6.9.1
os: linux x64

Repro steps.

Created the xlf2 file for the project using the command
ng-xi18n --i18nFormat=xlf2 --outFile=app/locale/messages.xliff2.xlf
Next, performed the translation to create app/locale/messages.ts-TH.xliff2.xlf to create translation
created i18n-providers.ts (attached)
i18n-providers.ts.txt

modified main.ts (attached) to get translation providers before bootstrap.
Upon running the application (via chrome) application fails to boot with the following error in console log
main.ts.txt

The log given by the failure.

console.log.txt

Desired functionality.

There seems to be some issue with how the xlf2 file is being parsed. This is a bug that needs to be fixed. If any workaround is possible, please suggest.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Instructions followed were from:
https://angular.io/guide/i18n
https://stackoverflow.com/a/43369141/41284 - used rxjs instead of systemjs
locale value is hardcoded to ts-TH in the index.html to simulate this issue
also noticed a similar issue #6418 but raising this since the way we simulated the issue was slightly different so it could be a different root cause

If anyone could point to the code that parses the xlf2 file I could attempt to submit a patch myself

The first thing I would suggest is to update your version of the CLI. The latest version as of today is 1.3.1 which is much more up to date than the beta you are currently using. Please report back after updating.

can you give us the content of the file "messages.xliff2.xlf" ? I suspect that there is a missing closing tag or quote in your translations
