tmxjavabridge - TMXResourceBundle - TMX Java Bridge

Description:
TMXResourceBundle is an Open Source extension of Java
ResourceBundle class to read text resources directly from a
TMX file.
TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) is the vendor-neutral open
XML standard for the exchange of Translation Memory (TM)
data created by Computer Aided Translation (CAT) and
localization tools. The purpose of TMX is to allow easier
exchange of translation memory data between tools and/or
translation vendors with little or no loss of critical data
during the process. In existence since 1998, TMX is a
certifiable standard format. TMX is developed and maintained
by OSCAR (Open Standards for Container/Content Allowing
Re-use), a LISA (Localization Industry Standards Association)
Special Interest Group.
One of the main concerns of internationalization consists of
separating the main source code from the texts, the labels,
the messages and all the other objects related to the specific
language in use. This facilitates the translation process as
such as all the resources related to the local language
context are well identified and separated.
Since version JDK 1.1, Java provides great support for
internationalization (i18n) by offering several instruments
and tools, for example the support to Unicode 2.0, the
multilingual environments and the object localization, just
to mention a few.
However, all these instruments may not be sufficient when we
target a global market in which the costs to translate and
update the texts (including labels, messages, menu elements
and so on) can easily become quite high.
This is the context where the TMX standard comes to help by
applying to the translation and management process of these
texts the concepts of reuse, increase of consistency, and the
shortening of the production cycle. All this with the added
bonus of cutting the development costs.
