With an internal change to focus on end-user, cross-platform, OSS software, the organisation decided to localize the Mozilla Suite.

Further funded development has added other features including the ability to convert Open Document Format to XLIFF and the management of placeholders (Variables, acronyms, terminology, etc.).

For the toolkit this means building converters that can transform files to be translated into these two basic formats.

Lastly, the toolkit provides a powerful localisation API[2] that acts as a base on which to build other localization related tools.

Further there are and have been several indirect users of the Translate Toolkit API: Work was started in June 2008 to incorporate OpenDocument Format support.
