Hi David,

The glossary format that is currently in SVN is based on GlossML, a simple design that was proposed earlier to LISA for holding glossary data in those cases where TBX is overkill.

It is quite easy to export a glossary embedded in an XLIFF file as TBX using an XSL stylesheet. Actually, stylesheets for converting GlossML to TBX already exist and with a minor modification they could fit the design proposed for XLIFF.

Regards,

Rodolfo
