Subject: RE: [xliff] RE: "none of the market leader TenT companies has signed on to the XLIFF standard "


Title: Message

Hi Bryan, Doug,

 

I had a look at this blog and they appear to be talking about a presentation by Jost Zetzsche. While I was not at the conference, I know Jost very well. He regularly asks the question ‘Why isn’t everyone using XLIFF?’. He is likely to be suggesting that translation companies should be much more enthusiastic about XLIFF. I understand the point that most of the big translation companies are actually using XLIFF and many were involved in creating the standard (Lionbridge, SDL, Moravia) but I think a more important point is being raised here about the bind which translation companies have when it comes to technology.

 

Thanks,

 

Peter.

Hi Doug,

 

Thanks for sharing this with us.  I did not attend, but I find this line of thinking interesting (surprising).  I'm more on the implementer's side of the XLIFF picture.  I wonder if some of the TC members from the tool or LSP side want to comment, or comment on the blog.  I'd love the chance for us to comment on companies that have signed on to the XLIFF standard.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan

All,

 

I found this statement in a blog… (http://thoughtsontranslation.com/2008/07/21/news-from-the-ata-tcd-conference/)

 

"For example at present, none of the market leader TenT companies has signed on to the XLIFF standard that allows the exchange of bilingual files between tools."

 

Now, I agree the XLIFF adoption is very low (most translators I deal with have never heard of it), but I know that some are using XLIFF.

 

Thought some of you might wish to comment on the blog. It might help XLIFF adoption.

 

Were any of you present at the conference mentioned?

 

-Doug
