It has been widely implemented in translation management systems, computer supported translation tools and in utilities for extracting translatable content from source documents. The mapping between ITS and XLIFF therefore unpins several important ITS2.0 usage scenarios <a title="Metadata for the Multilingual Web - Usage Scenarios and Implementations " href="#mlw-metadata-us-impl" shape="rect">[MLW US IMPL]</a>. These usage scenarios involve: 1) the mapping of ITS meta-data in a source document into XLIFF and ITS meta-data of the translatable content in XLIFF file; 2) the addition of ITS meta-data into an XLIFF file by translation tools; and 3) the mapping of ITS eta-data in an XLIFF file into ITS meta-data in the resulting target language files.

The reason is that enhancements are being discussed in the context of HTML5 that are expected to change the approach to marking up directionality, in particular to support content whose directionality needs to be isolated from that of surrounding content. However, these enhancements are not finalized yet. They will be reflected in a future revision of ITS.</p>

+                    <p>The XML Localization Interchange File Format <ptr target="#xliff" type="bibref"/> is an OASIS standard that enables translatable source text and its translation to be passed between different tools within localisation and translation workflows. It has been widely implemented in translation management systems, computer supported translation tools and in utilities for extracting translatable content from source documents. The mapping between ITS and XLIFF therefore unpins several important ITS2.0 usage scenarios <ptr target="#mlw-metadata-us-impl" type="bibref"/>. These usage scenarios involve: 1) the mapping of ITS meta-data in a source document into XLIFF and ITS meta-data of the translatable content in XLIFF file; 2) the addition of ITS meta-data into an XLIFF file by translation tools; and 3) the mapping of ITS meta-data in an XLIFF file into ITS meta-data in the resulting target language files. ITS 2.0 has no normative dependency on XLIFF, however a  <ref target="http://www.w3.orgInternational/its/wiki/XLIFF_Mapping">non-normative definition of how to represent ITS 2.0 data categories in XLIFF 1.2 or XLIFF 2.0</ref> is being defined within the <ref target="http://www.w3.org/International/its/ig/">Internationalization Tag Set Interest Group</ref>.</p>
