Subject: Re: [xliff] Language for bilingual <file>
Doug,Your wording is less convoluted ... I like it.thanks,John,Nicely done. The <target> children of <alt-trans>, however, may also be of a different language.How about this...?Recommendation: It is strongly recommended that content within the <file> element be uniformly bilingual. In other words, each <source> and <target> element that is a child of <trans-unit> is of the same language as the source-language and target-language attributes of the <file> element, respectively. The xml:lang attribute should not be used in those elements. The exception is that <source> and <target> elements that are children of <alt-trans> may contain an xml:lang attribute of a different language than that of the source-language and target-language attributes of the <file> element.Example,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xliff xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.1" version="1.1">
<file original="hello.txt" source-language="en" target-language="fr" datatype="plaintext">
<body>
<trans-unit id="hi">
<source>hello world</source>
<target>bonjour monde</target>
<alt-trans>
<target xml:lang="es">hola mundo</target>
</alt-trans>
</trans-unit>
</body>
</file>
</xliff>

Hi Enda & Tony,Is the following sufficient? Too verbose? Understandable? If not, please feel free to edit."Recommendation: It is strongly recommended that this is a uniformly bilingual file. In other words: each <source> element child of <trans-unit> are of the same language as the source-language attribute of <file>; that the xml:lang attribute of <source> is not used in those elements; that only <source> children of <alt-trans> can contain an xml:lang attribute of a different language than that of the source-language attribute of <file>."cheers,john
