XML ma złą reputację wśród tłumaczy – bardzo często jest postrzegany jako coś skomplikowanego, co niezwykle trudno prawidłowo przetłumaczyć.

Niniejszy tekst jest pierwszym z trzyczęściowej serii na temat tłumaczenia plików XML. Część pierwsza to podstawowe wprowadzenie do formatu XML – takie „co i jak”.
