-- Information about the Candidate OASIS Standard and the XLIFF TC -- 

XLIFF is the XML Localization Interchange File Format. It has been designed by a group of multilingual content publishers, software providers, localization service providers, localization tools providers and researchers. It is intended to give any multilingual content owner a single interchange file format that can be understood by any localization provider, using any conformant localization tool. While the primary focus is on being a lossless interchange format, usage of XLIFF as a processing format is neither encouraged nor discouraged or prohibited.

This specification replaces or supersedes XLIFF Version 2.0, which was submitted to ISO TC 37/SC 5, went through a unanimous DIS ballot and is currently under publication (60.00) as ISO 21720.

The TC received 5 Statements of Use from ENLASO Corporation, Felix Sasaki, Soroush Saadatafar, SDL Trados Studio, and Umbraco [6].
