Subject: Groups - Best Practice for Using the DITA CONREF Attribute for Translation (ConrefBestPracticesWhitePaper[1].pdf) modified


Information about the document named Best Practice for Using the DITA
CONREF Attribute for Translation (ConrefBestPracticesWhitePaper[1].pdf) has
been modified by Dr. JoAnn Hackos.

Document Description:
Great care should be taken regarding the use of the conref attribute in
DITA topics that will be translated. The conref attribute may appear to be
a very efficient artifice to allow for the simple substitution of product
names and other variables, allowing for the runtime resolution of given
parameters. However, runtime resolution can cause grammatical problems with
highly inflected and gender sensitive languages such as most Slavonic and
Germanic languages, where nouns can change (both root and ending changes
are possible) depending on case/context.
