This is a tutorial on globalizing XML documents: publishing multiple versions of documents in a localized fashion so as to support multiple languages.

The article details a technique where all translatable resources are separated from the object structure. The result is one main document with the main structure (including translation tags) and subdocuments with displayable text and any other translatable resource in each supported language.

The application is set up to recognize the translatable resources and each supported language and to process each version separately. The article also provides links to several additional globalization information sources.
