30-day Public Review for #XLIFF v2.1 – ends Nov. 25th
The OASIS XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) TC [1] members have recently approved a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted it for 30-day public review:
XLIFF Version 2.1
Committee Specification Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01
14 October 2016
What is XLIFF and why is it important?
The XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) is a specification for the interchange of localizable software and document based objects and related metadata. The purpose of XLIFF’s extensible XML vocabularies is to store localisable data and carry it from one step of the localization process to the other, while allowing interoperability between and among tools.
