New technologies, languages such as XML and, above all, the spread of the Internet have been the driving force in the creation and dissemination of standards as applied to the world of translation.
Here is a list of the principal standards:
A standard developed in 2002 by OSCAR, based on XML, used to create, manage and share glossaries of terms.
A standard developed in 1998 by OSCAR, based on XML, used to create, manage and share translation memories.
A standard developed in 2003 by OASIS, based on XML, used to facilitate exchanges of information between the parties involved in the translation process.
A standard developed in 2001 by OASIS, based on XML, used to extract and process text needing to be translated within documents.
