Many thanks for the feedback, Kris.

I'll add entries about the keyref mechanism and "translate" attribute.

Best regards,

Rodolfo

Hi, Rodolfo.

Thanks for the link; good, useful information!

I think maybe the following DITA features could be added:

• keyref mechanism, especially for variable text. Some folks are using this now instead of conrefs ...
• @translate attribute. I've seen instances of companies who diligently apply translate="no" to elements, but the LSP goes ahead and translates ... Some of the translation software doesn't seem to have good ability to show or handle DITA attributes.

Hi,

 

At http://www.ditatranslation.com/articles/cat_tools.html you can find the first draft of an article about selecting translation tools for handling DITA files.

 

Please notice that the web site is still in construction.

 

Regards,

Rodolfo
