3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria

• Zend_Translate_XmlTm is an additional source format for Zend_Translate

• Zend_Exception

5. Theory of Operation

This component integrates XML:TM source files into the Zend_Framework.
XML:TM is almost the newest localization source standard. It was announced 2004 and is extending TMX, based in XML namespaces. It derives from Zend_Translate_Abstract and can be used by Zend_Translate to serve source files for translation.
