Hi Walter Blaser

SDLXLIFF is just XLIFF format with some extensions added by SDL.
You can find that XLIFF specification below which describes most of the elements:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/v1.2/os/xliff-core.html

For the SDL extensions, in the post Alison Field refers to, I did post the schema which might be helpful though.
(It doesn't describe in detail what they are used for though, so if you had questions about specific elements you could ask a question in the developers forum)

Hi Jesse

Thanks for this useful link. I didn't think about going to OASIS because I expected that there would be a separate specification document of SDL due to the SDL extensions. However, the OASIS specification already helps a lot in that it gives an understanding of  the overall structure of the file format.

And as you pointed out, the schema does not document what the SDL extensions are used for but if I need more information on this, I'll post in the developer's forum.

Thanks a lot again and have a nice day.
