Export and import data XML

I'm working on a big website with 2 contexts, one for Dutch and one for French. The French site is equal to to the Dutch site.

my question is this: Is it possible to export al the data from the Dutch context to XML and then import this into the French context? We have a translation company who can deliver the translated XML to us. (so we give them the Dutch XML and they deliver us the French XML). Are there any pitfalls I have to take note of?

This would spare me an amount of time since I don't have to go from resource to resource to input the translation.

Something like this is not possible to my knowledge, but it shouldn't be too difficult to write a quick script/snippet (I'd use a temporary script via Console extra) that does that. Something like that

<?php
$resobjs = $modx->getCollection('modResource');

foreach ($resobjs as $resobj) {
   $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<xml/>');
   $xmlres = $xml->addChild('resource');
   $xmlres->addChild('pagetitle', $resobj->get('pagetitle'));
   $xmlres->addChild('longtitle', $resobj->get('longtitle'));
   $xmlres->addChild('content', $resobj->get('content'));

   Header('Content-type: text/xml');
   print($xml->asXML());
}
