Slide
#9
Another Advantage for
tools vendor - providing support for xliff opens up all the formats that can be
converted to xliff
[YS] ok.
Slide #17
I would
steer clear of the <alt-trans> being used for different languages.
Let's make the clear statement, that xliff 1.1 is bi-lingual, not
multi-lingual. (People can go and (ab)use it as they wish, but lets not
confuse people by mentioning this.
[YS] Mumm... You may be right. Any opinion
Christian?
Slide #19
Looks complicated
for an introduction, I would reduce it to something
like...
<trans-unit id='ID_CANCEL'>
<source
xml:lang='en'>Cancel</source>
<target
xml:lang='fr'>Annuler</target>
</trans-unit>
[YS] Ok. (but it needs and id too
(required) :-)
Slide
#20,21,22
I feel three pages is too much info here
for the 'Introduction', one page would be loads. I think it
would suffice to say that inline tags are supported to ensure that formatting
type information that may change during localisation
e.g. <bold> is well provided for in xliff. There are a
number of ways to do this, similar to the TMX and OpenTag constructs.
Here is an example
Source :
The <b>fat</b> cat sleeps
soundly
xliff Represention:
<trans-unit id='121'>
<source>The <g
id="1">fat</g> cat sleeps
soundly</source>
<target>Elle dort
bien, la <g id="1">grande</g>
chat</target>
</trans-unit>
[YS] I think <mrk> should be there because it
addresses questions I often get about inline codes. But maybe 20 and 21 can be
grouped. Any preference
Christian?
Slide
#24
Graphical
represention to indicate the hierarchy that can be stored
in xliff
The attached
bitmap may help illustrate an example of a hierarchical
relationship
[YS] I like
it.
Slide #38,
#39
I would
exagerate the before situation and make the xliff based system look
simpler. I can work on this graphic if you wish
[YS] If you have time sure.
I like the basic ideas John's graphic outlined, but I'm not sure how to
make it simpler for XLIFF (for a general
case).
I would also
give an example of a style sheet presenting xliff in tabular format for #39,
do you want me to do that?
[YS] By all means, it may be good to have for a quick demo
with #40.
Thanks
