Document Name: DITA 1.2 Feature Article: Using XLIFF to Translate DITA Projects

        
        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.
