Description
DITA promises cost reductions in translation thanks to content reuse. Content reuse can lead to translation cost reduction when proper planning is done. DITA topics are written once, updated once, and used in multiple deliverables. With careful planning, costs can indeed be lowered. However, cost reduction depends on the nature of the project; it is not possible to predict the level of cost reductions in advance.
XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) is an open standard published by OASIS (like DITA) that you can use in your project workflow to manage the content that needs to be translated.
