XML Localization Interchange File Format

An Introduction to XLIFF

The translation of electronic documents, software, and Web applications is complicated by, among other things, the range and complexity of the file formats used.

XLIFF is designed to make localization easier by providing a standard format for exchanging translatable data. XLIFF stands for XML Localization Interchange File Format. It was initially developed by a group of companies that included Oracle, Sun, Novell, IBM, and Lionbridge (formerly Bowne Global Solutions). It has now become an industry standard for localization and is being developed through the OASIS organization. OASIS is the main body for developing XML-based standards for industry application. The XLIFF OASIS technical committee (TC), which is overseeing development of XLIFF, has some of the most significant players in the area of software and translation.

This white paper was written for individuals working at companies that are using or planning to use XLIFF. The document is structured to help you gain a clearer understanding of the benefits of using XLIFF, how the file format is structured, what it looks like, and how it is used.
