Two good news for (XLIFF-based) translation tools within a week. That's
great.

Will this tool support a translation memory?
As open-source there will be a lot of things one can experiment on, like
Web-based translation, adapting existing tools (KBabel, poEdit,
gtranslator) to the translation memory and so on...

Once this tool is released, there will be little to say about the
efforts of Sun on open-source software. :)
