Re: [xliff] srcDir, trgDir, dir vs just dir
Thanks, Yves, this sounds straightforward, unless someone is unhappy with the proposed, I can make the change in the spec.
I guess that the reason for mentioning srcDir and trgDir is that dir values are inherited from them. Maybe worth a note? if it is removed from the normative language..

@Bryan, as our excellent tracker gardener would you please add this to the tracker, it can either receieve its own comment number or be subsumed under 133

Thanks

Hi all,

One more issue in the specification (editorial):

In the section about Segmentation Modification we have the following PR:

"If the directionality attributes, srcDir, trgDir, or dir differ the Modifier MUST insert Unicode bidirectional control characters

[UAX #9] to secure proper directionality in the <segment> and its children."

The srcDir and trgDir are not used in <segment>, <source>, <target>, or <ignorable>, therefore they are not relevant here. Only dir

(which can be used in <source> and <target>) is relevant.

I suggest the following new text (with additional changes to be consistent with the other PRs):

"If the directionality attributes dir differ Modifiers MUST insert Unicode bidirectional control characters [UAX #9] to ensure

proper directionality in the <source> or <target> elements."

Cheers,

-yves
