The document discusses open standards for localization and translation. It describes how standards enable greater interoperability, efficiency, and lower costs. It presents OAXAL, an open architecture for XML authoring and localization that uses various standards like XLIFF and TBX. OAXAL allows localization of content like English soccer articles into other languages around the clock in a browser-based workbench.

30. Interoperability Now!/Linport
XLIFF 1.2 implementation issues
The broken promise
Core fine
Too many options
Too many implementation issues
Need to concentrate on the I for Interchange
No way to package up translation assets
The GOAL:
To be able to round trip transparently between
different TMS/CAT tools
