Articles
Rodolfo M. Raya, Maxprograms' CTO, wrote two series of articles that were published by IBM developerWorks. Two articles about XML Publishing are available at IBM's website and three articles about the use of XML in Localisation are available here. Some of the articles were translated into Chinese and Japanese by IBM and published in the localised versions of developerWorks.
Updated versions of the articles on XML in Localisation are published in this web site.
