Converting translation files to xml

[Steven R. Loomis via CLDR-Users]

Marcel,
 The DTD gives you some,but not all of the information needed to produce
LDML. The spec is needed as well.

 An XML DTD is not enough information to automatically transform between
formats.

Luca,
 As Mark said there is currently no automatic way to do this transform
between xliff and ldml. . It's not a bad idea, though,  An issue though is
how the naming would work. Some amount of configuration would be needed to
set up this transform even in the best case.
