Subject: Re: Revised version of the Acronym/Glossary Proposal
Hi Bruce,
Thanks, I hadn't noticed this! I think it was a typo..... "emit" should
have been "omit".
Robert, could you change the sentence:
A glossary publishing process should emit the surface form for the term.
to what I propose in the attached file (I'm attaching it to avoid
corruption by e-mail clients). This new content also addresses Bruce's
suggestion that we mention glossary output formats. Perhaps you should put
this in the section "Usage for glossary publishing".
(See attached file: abs.txt)
May I also suggest that you change the term "translation workbench" to
"computer assisted translation environment" (several occurrences). That is
the more standard term and some people may not know exactly what you are
talking about with "workbench".
Thanks and best regards,

This appears under "Rendition of abbreviated forms". The same text is
carried forward in the version Robert just distributed.

Bruce, I don't know where you got this. Something I said must have been
misunderstood. The "surface form" is not published in glossaries.
I'm not sure whether processing strategies for published glossaries
should
or should not be in the markup proposal. I'll let others comment on
that.

Re: Revised version of the
Acronym/Glossary Proposal
Don't know whether this was caught on the call, but after my e-mail
exchange with Kara and Robert last week, the following sentence seems
oversimplified. I'll use brackets to suggest an addition. Perhaps I
missed
a statement elsewhere of this fallback behavior.
> A glossary publishing process should emit the surface form for the
term.
[ If no surface form is provided, the glossterm should be emitted. ]
Kara provided examples showing that the glossary publishing process
could
also emit a supporting entry for the acronym that refers to the full
term.
Is this mentioned / is the method for this explained in the proposal?
Perhaps it is an existing mechanism.
Best wishes,
Bruce

Hello All:
I have made minor changes to Erik's version of the acronym/glossary
proposal and included one draft comment. See the addition of the comment
about leaving an empty element in a translation. I added a sentence that
suggests that translation software may generate an error in this case.
The solution I suggest is to have the translator duplicate the
<glossterm> in all instances including surface form and full form.
I cannot take part in the Monday or Tuesday meetings of the translation
SC or the DITA TC. ( I am teaching a workshop) Could I ask Gershon to
represent the Translation SC at both meetings?
Gershon, please let me know if you can chair a translation SC meeting to
review the A/G proposal once more.
I have not incorporated Bruce Esrig's rewording. I could also not
process
the HTML version because the version I opened of Erik's Arbortext
content
did not display any of the tables after the first. Have no idea why.
