11 am to 12:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time

Bring together two powerful OASIS XML standards (DITA and XLIFF), and you get a process that reduces the costs and risks associated with translating topic-oriented, XML-based content. In this business focused web session, a panel of XLIFF/DITA/Translation experts attempt to answer key questions:

  • What is the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) standard and what does it have to do with the localization and translation of content?
  • What is the XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) and what advantages does it provide to DITA users who need to translate content?
  • How does the roundtrip (DITA to XLIFF back to DITA) work and what advantages does it provide?

Hear about the business case developed by panel participants Dr. JoAnn Hackos, OASIS DITA Adoption Technical Committee convener and OASIS DITA Translation Subcommittee chair, and Nick Rosenthal, president of Salford Translations Ltd. Peter Li, Principal Specialist for Arbortext Solutions at Parametric Technology (PTC) and Tony Jewtushenko, Product Innovator, Ltd. take you through a process map that shows a real world enterprise end-to-end implementation including XLIFF and DITA within a CMS enterprise workflow system. This will be of particular interest to business managers, communications professionals, and localization coordinators.
