My current guess is that the problems you are likely to encounter may be more to do with tools available than standards. ▲ Collapse

TagEditor Feb 29, 2008

Why don't you work directly in TagEditor. I think it supports XLIFF files since version 2006 0r 2007 (they are XML-based).

Good luck!

XLIFF files are bilingual. There can only be one <target> element per translation unit.

A new XLIFF file is necessary for each target language.
