I’m looking forward (with some trepidation) to the first time I need to diagnose and resolve a problem in Java written in Chinese.

Practicing with open-source would be useful so that I am ready for the inevitable day when I have to do it for a paying customer using IBM commercial software.

I am almost sorry that I won’t be talking about Translate.org.za & Itaapy’s ODF-XLIFF project (for those new to translation: XLIFF is a translation interchange format that roughly occupies the position of ODF in the world of translation formats).

Both organizations have implemented ODF-XLIFF converters (we’re working together to specify how ODF should be represented in XLIFF). Both converters are works in progress, but should already be useful to anyone wishing to do translations of ODF documents.

Since I’ll lack an ODF soapbox at OOoCon, I’ll have to invite everyone reading this post to read my most recent blog post.
