Uniqueness of language pair

["Rodolfo M. Raya" <rmraya@maxprograms.com>]

Hi,

 

In an XLIFF 1.2 document you may have multiple <file> elements and they could have different source/target languages. In theory, that would allow someone to create an XLIFF document with many copies of the same <file> element, each having a different target language. In practice, that would be a bad idea as tools that work with XLIFF usually expect bilingual documents.

 

It might be interesting for XLIFF 2.0 to set source and target language in the <xliff> element and let all <file> children inherit the declared language pair.

 

Opinions?

 

Regards,

Rodolfo
