XML

The purpose of this book is twofold: First to describe what needs to be done to internationalize XML documents and applications; second to describe how the XML data can be localized efficiently. There is currently almost no information on these two topics grouped and organized in a single reference. In addition, while XML has evolved a lot the past 2 years, it has now reached a point of global acceptance, as evidenced by the many international XML working groups addressing trading partner agreements, electronic document exchange, business processes, and eBusiness. Explore the Unicode, L18N, L10N standards as they apply to XML. Learn strategies for dealing with alternate alphabets and text orientations. Improve your XML framework to make it more conductive to fast localization at minimum cost. Synchronize error messages from software resources with XML based online help documents. Master rendering XML documents. Understand XML data exchange.
