I was thinking about Microsoft and MyMemory.

But why should we preinstall these for people who might not even want them, and then not install Sunda, Convertus, Systran, Kantan, Verto, Slate, tauyou, Tilde, Iconic, Baidu, Lingenio, iTranslate4.eu.  I think they're pretty simple to install, especially when the developers just use an sdlplugin.  We're going to make all this easier in the next few months too.

Hi Jesse,

I made yesterday the same question concerning backward compatibility through the SDL "Live Chat":

02:21:41 PM [Claudio] Good afternoon,
I have just received the E-mail announcing the SDL Studio 2017 release.
I have an immediate query: will SDL Studio 2017 and SDL MultiTerm 2017 file formats be completely backward compatible with previous SDL Studio/SDL MultiTerm 2015, 2014 and 2011?
Thank you.

and, among other,, their reply was:

02:34:47 PM [Xxxxx Xxxxxxx] yes it will be backward compatible

and

02:35:14 PM [Claudio] And will the sdlxliff structure change in any way?
02:35:34 PM [Claudio] I mean file structure when opened with a normal text editor.
02:36:19 PM [Xxxxx Xxxxxxx] it will still be sdlxliff, for the file structure if there is any change I would need to double check

So, I suppose that the backward compatibility will be assured.

I hope this may help.
