Localizable objects (e.g. text strings, graphics) in source and target languages. 2. Supplementary information (e.g. glossaries, or material to recreate the original format). 3. Administrative information (e.g. workflow data). 4. Custom data (e.g. initialization information for tools). XLIFF Bilingual Model Each <file> element is designed to store one source language and one target language The rationale is that the translation of different target language is done by different people most of the time However, languages in <alt-trans> element can be different. For example, proposed matches in national Portuguese when translating into Brazilian Portuguese.
