May 2009 XLIFF TC formally enters Requirements Gathering stage for XLIFF 2.0
Responding to the voice of the localization user community, the XLIFF TC is gearing up to make improvements to XLIFF that will best serve all stake-holders.
September 2008 OASIS hosted two DITA/XLIFF Webinars
OASIS hosted two webinars on DITA and the XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF).
- 'DITA to XLIFF and Back - Reducing the Costs and Risks of Translating XML Content' will present a business perspective on translating topic-oriented, XML-based content. The webinar will include business cases developed by expert panelists.
- 'DITA to XLIFF and Back - Understanding the Technical Solution' describes in more technical terms how DITA can be used with XLIFF, which provides an easy-to-use mechanism for packaging DITA files for translation and localization providers. A real world 'end-to-end' enterprise implementation will be demonstrated.
