RE: [xliff] Uniqueness of language pair

["Rodolfo M. Raya" <rmraya@maxprograms.com>]

Translation packages and XLIFF documents are two different things.

A package could be multilingual, have Dolby Surround sound, subtitles and 3D images. That's not an obstacle for XLIFF being just bilingual.

Regards,
Rodolfo
