Multimedia

MLIF (Multi Lingual Information Framework) is intended to be a generic ISO-based mechanism for representing and dealing with multilingual textual information. A preliminary version of MLIF has been associated with digital media within the ISO/IEC MPEG context and dealing with subtitling of video content, dialogue prompts, menus in interactive TV, and descriptive information for multimedia scenes. MLIF comprises a flexible specification platform for elementary multilingual units that may be either embedded in other types of multimedia content or used autonomously to localise existing content.
