Not only the online editor of Pootle will be able to display a
second language to assist the translator, but it will also allow
exporting files for offline translation that includes a third
language. This is difficult to do with PO files, but it will not be
a problem for XLIFF files. The XLIFF format permits including as
part of a translation unit the source string, the target string,
comments and what is called alternative-translations, which can be
either translation memory information, previous translations of the
same string or the translation to a third language.
If I am not wrong, only XLIFF 1.1 allows for more than 2 translation
unit variants for a segment. XLIFF 1.0 is still very much bilingual
only.
