Question on XLIFF
Hi,
I'd like to know if XLIFF is a really popular format among the localization/translation community world over.
If any of you have used or are using tools that deal with documents in XLIFF format, I'd like some feedback on the following.
I'm asking these questions because I plan to write an Open Source tool for Translation starting with a good XLIFF Editor. I hope to make it simple, intuitive, easy to use and add features as I go. I think I have the right ideas, but I'm not sure. Anyway I thought I should give it a shot.
I tried checking out some tools from this site but I wasn't too sure if that is what is needed.
Thanks!

- How popular is XLIFF?
- Do you think XLIFF is a well defined format for translation?
- What XLIFF tools do you use / have you used? What do you like/hate about the tool(s)?
- What supporting features would you like to have in your translation tool (like support for Translation Memory. Any others.)?
- Do you think there are enough tools for translation that support XLIFF?
- Any other thoughts.
