Hi David,
I will not attend to the face to face meeting in Limerick so I prefer this issue to be discussed via email or in the next regular meetings.
Let me summarize my position:
- I don't care if some tools include unsegmented text in their XLIFF files if my tools can safely ignore it.
- I don't want to include unsegmented text in the XLIFF files generated by my tools.
- If unsegmented text is present in a file, I want it to be clearly separated from translatable segments.
Regards,
Rodolfo
