OASIS members and other interested parties, We are pleased to announce that XLIFF Version 2.1 is now available for public review and comment. This latest release incorporates updates made to the specification since the second public review as listed in section C.2.1 [1] The XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) is a specification for the interchange of localizable software and document based objects and related metadata. The purpose of XLIFF's extensible XML vocabularies is to store localisable data and carry it from one step of the localization process to the other, while allowing interoperability between and among tools. The documents and related files are available here: XLIFF Version 2.1 Committee Specification Draft 03 / Public Review Draft 03 04 April 2017 HTML (Authoritative):
