The 3rd XLIFF Symposium will take place on October 16-17 2012, in Seattle,
and it will be BIG due to its official collocation with Localization World, Seattle 2012!

This year, the traditionally successful XLIFF Symposium will be integrated as a Track in FEISGILTT 2012, a new Federated Event dedicated to Interoperability Standardization in Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, and Translation Technologies. FEISGILT and hence XLIFF Symposium are collocated with the leading industry conference in the Localization space, Localization World.

Program published; check it out and register, as spaces are limited!

Registration for both days of the Symposium (and FEISGILTT) is now open.

The Symposium builds on success of the 1st and 2nd XLIFF Symposia which were both held in Europe, 1st as LRC XV preconference, and the 2nd as TM Europe 2011 preconference.

We have introduced the following active participation formats:

• Academic Paper
• Interoperability Showcase (demo)
• Case Study
• Panel Discussion
• Poster

See detailed submission requirements.

We would welcome proposals pertaining but not limited to the following topics::

• Experimental implementations of XLIFF 2.0
• Transitioning from XLIFF 1.x to 2.0
• Interoperability with other standards
• Proposals of XLIFF 2.0 modules
• Feedback to XLIFF 2.0 core and modules in the making
• Profiling of XLIFF 1.2
• Profiling of XLIFF 2.0
• XLIFF and localization process management
• XLIFF and management of memory and terminology matches
• [Other (please describe within your abstract)]
