Subject: OASIS DITA Translation Subcommittee Agenda -- 19 May 2008


Note: I hope everyone can attend the meeting tomorrow (Monday 19 May). We have lots to discuss. Find the original version of the Acronym BP with Andrzej's format fixes and final paragraph of instructions for Translations. Also find the kw version from Kara. We will review in detail tomorrow. Kara's has done a lot to clarify our statements and has added an extensive example in French. Please review carefully.
Thanks, JoAnn

2) Approve minutes from previous business meeting:

3) Review open action items

3.1 ACTION: Gershon to investigate whether he can use a client's samples.

Gershon will assemble all the examples into the template for the TC; need to add the examples to the Multilanguage Best Practice. CONTINUED.

Awaiting legal OK; Gershon is selecting items for use in the Best Practice. Decision to submit the BP to the TC for review without these items and we'll update them after Gershon gets approval from his client, since it's going to take a while.

CONTINUED.

3.3 ACTION: JoAnn will contact Richard Ischida to get clarification on the

need for a pronunciation element or attribute for the acronym proposal.

The Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Working Group has published a Group Note of Best Practices for XML Internationalization. This document provides a set of guidelines for developing XML documents and schemas that are internationalized properly. Following the best practices describes here allow both the developer of XML applications, as well as the author of XML content to create material in different languages.
