Topping Subject: XML and Localization Seminar in Boston XML and Localization 17 June 2002 Boston, MA Presenter: Yves Savourel Cost: $795 reduced rates available for more than 1 registration Description The seminar will look at XML from the localization viewpoint: as a format used more and more to store translatable material, as well as a format localizers can take advantage of to improve their processes. The seminar will provide an overview of the basic facets of XML and its related technologies, underlining the internationalization aspects. It will present guidelines to create XML vocabularies and to author XML documents with localization in mind. It will illustrate how to implement re-usability, localization directives, as well as various some of the other advantages XML can offer. Localizing XML documents and interfaces will be covered by looking at the various current solutions, addressing some of their implementation issues and examining how to take advantage of interoperability to create alternate efficient processes. The class will also delve into the different existing localization-related formats, it will look more especially at XLIFF and how to take advantage of it. All parts of the seminar will be illustrated by many concrete examples, and some hand-on exercises. Agenda * XML Basics (Definitions, elements, attributes, entities, etc.) * Character Representation (Encoding, non-ASCII tags, NCRs, URIs, etc.) * XML and Presentation (Localization with CSS Style sheets, XSL templates, etc.) * Creating XML Vocabularies for Localization (Localization considerations when creating XML DTDs or XML Schemas) * Developing XML Documents for Localization (Localization considerations when authoring XML documents, localization directives, etc.) * XML and Databases (Relationships between XML and databases from the viewpoint of localization) * Taking Advantage of XML (Re-use vs. re-cycling, multilingual documents, links, etc.) * Translating XML Documents (XML-enabled tools brief overview, various solutions for translating XML files, use of XSL for preparation, etc.) * XML Standard Localization Formats (Overview of XML formats related to localization: TMX, OpenTag, XLIFF, TBX, etc.) * Using XLIFF (Concrete examples of how to use XLIFF with various source format, for example Photoshop and Flash).
