XML namespace

XLIFF 1.2

The localisation interchange format used to move translatable content between tools.

xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2"

XLIFF carries source and target text side by side along with translation state, so it is the format that moves between a content system and a translation vendor. Version 1.2 remains far more widely implemented than 2.x.

The URI is a URN rather than an http:// URL, which is a useful reminder that namespace identifiers are never required to be dereferenceable.
