Re: Novell glossary

[Tim Foster <Tim Foster Sun COM>]

Hi Javier & All,

No need to reinvent the wheel - there's existing XML schemas that are
designed for managing glossaries already which you might be able to use.

There's two main standards out there : OLIF[1], which I believe was best
suited for terminology exchange between machine translation applications
and TBX[2] which is another standard I think originally based on OLIF.
Someone more intelligent than I could tell you which is best.

As regards other translation standards, we at Sun also use XLIFF, for
general translation workflow processes and TMX as a means for exchanging
translation memories.

As I mentioned before[3], we're doing quite a bit of work on translation
tools, and would be happy to help out ? (I believe Sun is already doing
an amount of translation work on GNOME, but perhaps some of our
translation tools could be of use also ?)

	cheers,
			tim
