XML and Globalization
SDL Warns Businesses to Think Global When Migrating to XML
SDL, one of the big players in globalization solutions, announced today the findings of a research project into the use of XML in delivering global content across multiple channels. This is something I have written about for Gilbane (here and here), and I am very interested in best practices that will emerge as more and more companies use XML in producing content for global audiences.
SDL appropriately notes that the global implications of moving to XML must be considered up-front, and is providing seven "golden rules" at www.sdlglobalxml.com to ensure successful implementation of XML projects for communicating with global audiences:
- XML alone does not solve the issue of global content
- Think global from the start of your XML strategy
- Automate the process of managing higher volumes of smaller chunks, being sent more frequently for translation
- Ensure translators can visualize the context of XML chunks
- Optimize the structure of your XML for localization
- Protect your XML code during localization
- Ensure terminology and style are consistent across dispersed chunks
