    Hi Bryan, Doug,

    I had a look at this blog and they appear to be talking about a presentation by Jost Zetzsche. While I was not at the conference, I know Jost very well. He regularly asks the question ‘Why isn’t everyone using XLIFF?’. He is likely to be suggesting that translation companies should be much more enthusiastic about XLIFF. I understand the point that most of the big translation companies are actually using XLIFF and many were involved in creating the standard (Lionbridge, SDL, Moravia) but I think a more important point is being raised here about the bind which translation companies have when it comes to technology.

    Thanks,

    Peter.

    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
