Re: [xliff] String length constraints in 2.0
+1.

      

      In addition to this feature, the feature
        tracking page does not list some
        of the features once discussed in the mail thread. (e.g:
      Machine Translation, QA Test) 

      Does this mean someone should propose?

Hi All,

        
 

        
While looking at the
            current draft, the feature tracker wiki and the 1.2
            specification I noticed that string length constraints or
            hints are missing for Xliff 2.0.
            

        
 

        
It would probably be
            good if we added this to the technical items to discuss on
            an upcoming TC call.

        
 

        
In my opinion this would
            probably best be done as an extension module. I also think
            there is room for improvement over the 1.2 feature set. I
            think it might make more sense to have a “maxlength”
            attribute and an optional specification of what the unit is,
            instead of “maxbytes”. I also think it could be useful to
            specify an equivalent size for inline codes that get added
            to the text size.

        
 

        
Regards,
