I was thinking <alt-trans> itself would be used for this. We had some talk long ago about how to make the difference between an <alt-trans> meant to be a translation proposition and an <alt-trans> meant to be an "older" version of the translation. But I don't think we worked out a solution. Talk to you soon. -yves ________________________________ From: Matthew Lovatt [mailto:matthew.lovatt@oracle.com] Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 9:35 AM To: xliff Subject: [xliff] Accepting Suggested Translations In XLIFF When I generate XLIFF Files for translation, I may include 1 or more alt-trans elements containing suggested translations Translators may use one of these suggestions, or they may translate from scratch Typically, a Translation Tool will present all available alt-trans elements with their parent trans-unit, allowing translators to select and optionally modify one of these suggestions I am looking for some mechanism to mark an alt-trans element to indicate that a translation tool has accepted the alt-trans as the required translation. A post processing tool can identify an accepted suggestion, and compare the target with the alt-trans to see if further modifications have been made to the target after accepting the suggestion There seem to be several possible ways to do this 1) By preference, I would like to add a new attribute to alt-trans, to indicate that the alt-trans has been accepted 2) Or I could use a note element 3) I could also use context group, if there was a relevant allowed value within context-type 4) I could also use tool etc, but this will not be standard If we agree that this is something that other users may require, can we pick a method and include it in the recommendations list Mat
