You have a find a CAT tool that will read the file quickly and easily.
Try OmegaT: you may need to update the filter settings so that it considers MXLIFF to be an XLIFF file, and you need to install either the Okapi of the StaX plugin if you want to do work counts on partially translated XLIFF files, and remember to deselect OmegaT's built-in XLIFF filter, which is a bit primitive. To count in OmegaT, create a project anywhere on your computer (you can then reuse it over an over), put the MXLIFF file in the project's /source/ folder, and perform the count from the menu.
