XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) is used for exchanging
localization data. Translators often get files in many different
formats, making translation more complex. XLIFF removes the
complexities of localizing different types of source files by
separating localizable text from formatting. It also gives localization
engineers a common platform for localization. It enables software
companies to exchange data with localization vendors.
Locales are identifiers for languages, regions and optional variant
code. A Java technology application can have multiple locales
active at the same time to create multicultural and multilingual Java
technology applications. John O'Conner, staff engineer specializing in
Java technology internationalization, explains locales, classes that are
affected by the locale, locale constructors, using locales and more.
