Subject: Notes from my pile
Dear team, our new version is finished, the Localization World is over, time to pop my pile. I think I was not able to post the following note because I used the wrong email account for sending. I hope I can get it through this time. >>>>>My first note is about "A tricky problem for handling in XLIFF" In my view the described problem is an i18n issue. If already implemented in the source from the beginning, it is not an issue for XLIFF later. Of course this means that issues of the target languages to be supported must be known at development time but isn't this something i18n is about? Also some kind of template expansion are possible that generates the source files for specific ugly languages (also describing the cases the translators have to translate). At least you will get a clean separation of code and localizable text. >>>>>My second note is about "Adding inline terminology information to XLIFF" I see three problems when adding terminology to target elemens: 1. Some tools allow to aling XLIFF content by reading and processing both source and target elements. Using target ofr other information but target makes processing more complicated. 2. When the translation is stored in target, the terminology information is lost and cannot be used in a later validation step. This is the first scenario where we loose information by writing the target element. 3. how to handle terms with more than one translation. Also keep in mind that the proposed solution violates the rule, that no information shall get lost during processing! The next obvious solution would add terminology information to alt-trans. >>>>>.NET Profile. Some thoughts based on our .NET parser implementation. I tried to send it to Gérard and Enda, but got no feedback. May be the wrong email account again. Here is it again for all of you.
