I was browsing the web and found archives of the list where a similar
question was asked.
There are a number of non-free and sometimes expensive (most of the
times not multiplatform) tools that support DocBook XML.
Free and multiplatform software that supports DocBook XML are few and
I personally only use 2 of them: both java apps that run flawlessly
on a Mac and with both strong and week points.
The applications are:
OmegaT (for which I do a lot of user support, and the reason I am
here is that I am rewriting the manual in DocBook) which is more
documentation translation oriented: it is aimed at freelance
translators and is very simple to use. OmegaT supports a number of
standard documentation files that it parses automatically to search
for translatable segments.

OpenLanguageTools, recently "freed" by SUN where it was their
internal localization front end. The back end has et to be opened.
OLT uses a anything2xliff kind of drag and drop filter and thus is
more a XLIFF file editor. The absence of back end makes the
conversion process unnecessarily cumbersome and sometimes very long
for big files sets, and the main advantage of using XLIFF (adding
internal matching information) is not made into use because of that.

Both tools support the use of external references memories in the TMX
format.
