Could you please clarify a few questions we have regarding the correct treatment of XLIFF tags? 1. Some declared tags have the ‘clone’ attribute which indicates whether this tag can be copied several times or not.
But what about tags without this attribute:
<bpt>,
<ept>, etc.? Are they ‘clonable’ by default? 2. It is also not clear why the
<bx/> tag has the ‘clone’ attribute, but
<ex/> does not have it? a. What is the purpose of this tag? Could you please provide an example which shows its usage?
b. Should the related
<bx/>/<ex/> tags be within one <source> element or it is allowed to have them occur even in different <trans-unit>-s? 3. Could a <target> element contain tags which are not present in the corresponding <source> element?
We would also like to ask you to recommend a reliable tool for XLIFF validation, if it is possible. Thank you for your consideration.
We look forward to your reply. Sincerely yours,
