RE: "none of the market leader TenT companies has signed on to theXLIFF standard "

Title: Message

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
