Hi Tetsuya-san,
J In the US we have a quaint _expression_ about “eating our own dog food.”
Perhaps using the best practice (as prescribed by this TC) for translating DITA would be a good idea. The DITA file set could be transformed to XLIFF, and then
translated in any mainstream CAT tool.
If you are interested in this approach a good starting point would be to try the DITA-XLIFF Roundtrip for OT plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ditaxliff/).
Tetsuya-san, you mentioned to me before that you’ve used, and endorse the tool. But if you wanted any help – I’d be happy to jump in.
Thanks,
Bryan
PS., What would be really cool would be to do a pilot project using XLIFF 2.0, with just completed its second public review draft (https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/15-day-public-review-for-xliff-v2-0
). But I fear it might be a little premature to try this. However, if we could get a CAT tool maker to sign up to provide a beta version that supports the Committee Draft of XLIFF 2.0, I would sign up to provide a beta version of my plugin that would also
support it.

Hi JoAnn,
Thank you for the prompt feedback.
We do (including myself and volunteers from Amazon) want to complete by the end of 2013.
Yes, I need a source DITA file set.
Thanks,

That would be an excellent first project! Let me know if you want the DITA source topics rather than the PDF.

Hi fellow members,
I am thinking about Japanese localization of “DITA Roles and Responsibilities” and further discussion within JDIG (Japan DITA Interest
Group).
Also, it can be nice for me to organize a webinar after we completed a translation as OASIS DITA Adaption TC member (in Japanese).
Let me hear what you think.
