GALA Webinar: XLIFF in a Controlled Ecosystem

14 February 10:00 EST (16:00 CET)

Join Paul Leahy for this joint webinar with OASIS that will explore the possibilities of XLIFF. Hear how Oracle, a large organization that creates a significant volume of content which is translated in up to 40 languages, has used XLIFF to drive efficiencies across the end-to-end content lifecycle.

Oracle's strategy is to build engineered solutions through open technology and standards. XLIFF compliments this strategy and is extensively used through Oracle's Translation Platform. The case study presented in this webinar will show what is possible with XLIFF including certain controls that can address some limitations that exist with the standard today. Paul will also discuss OASIS XLIFFv2.0, an initiative he hopes will lead to the standard enabling similar success in an open industry ecosystem.

This free webinar is jointly sponsored by GALA and OASIS.
