Hi Yves,
Are you suggesting to change the values for the translate attribute in this way:
yes
The segment can be translated (default).
locked
The segment MAY be translated but SHOULD NOT.
no
The segment MUST NOT be translated.
Regards,
Rodolfo

Subject: [xliff] Locked vs translate

Hi all,
Since this topic is being discussed for 2.0.
Here is an example where a tool uses an extension to provide a 'locked' information.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/okapitools/message/3285
This specific case could probably be handled with 1.2 approved='yes', but it illustrates that some users do feel that using translate='no' is not the proper solution in all cases.
The solution that Fredrik proposed yesterday (translate="yes|no|locked") may be workable.
For "no": not translatable. For "yes|locked": translatable, but possibly currently protected. The interest is that it is reversible without affecting the translate='no' entries.
And you would never have cases like translate='yes'+locked='no'.
Just some thoughts...
cheers,
-yves
