Part of the problem is that "translation" ends up meaning very different
things in different contexts. I mostly translate fiction or other long
chunks of prose, but occasionally film scripts and subtitles. The
requirements there are very different (and much more fluid) than
something like XLIFF, which seems firmly aimed at localization. I can't
imagine a major-mode that would be practically useful for both
localization and fiction translation.
