[oXygen-user] xliff support

Tue Feb 17 10:22:51 CST 2015

Hi Timothy and all,

installation worked for me out of the box with oXygen 16.1. 

Maybe you have see this already: XLIFF 2.0 sample files are here 
http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/trunk/xliff-20/test-suite/core/valid/#_trunk_xliff-20_test-suite_core_valid_ <http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/trunk/xliff-20/test-suite/core/valid/#_trunk_xliff-20_test-suite_core_valid_>
A simple example is here
http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/trunk/xliff-20/test-suite/core/valid/withGlossary.xlf <http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/trunk/xliff-20/test-suite/core/valid/withGlossary.xlf>

best,

Felix

For example to give us some xliff samples, tell us about what schemas can be used for xliff validation, give us feedback about how a CSS for editing in the Author visual editing mode should look like in order to be helpful.
