RE: [xliff] R37: Revised Validations Module proposal

[Ryan King <ryanki@microsoft.com>]

Yes, Helena, thanks for checking with me that. We did discuss it and feel that the processing agent should be responsible for normalization of text and so we will explicitly state that in the module.

Thanks,
Ryan

Did Kevin convey the comments about normalization to you? How do we expect to deal with that in the spec?

Hi Yves, all,
 
We suggest that for mustLoc, we enclose the source and replacement target values in parenthesis, like so: mustLoc="(World) (Welt)"
If for any reason, a parenthesis is required to be translated, as a brace for example, we could escape it like so: mustLoc="(\(World\)) ({Welt})"
 
Since we are generalizing the dblSpace to occurrences, then we could do something similar there as well: occurrences="(|) (3)"
For example, where 3 pipes need to occur in the target for whatever reason.
 
Further comments or suggestions welcome.

Thanks Yves for the feedback. All valid and good comments, which we will incorporate into the spec. As for the question on the mustLoc separator, Kevin and I are discussing it and suggest something shortly.
 
Thanks,
ryan

Hi Ryan, all,
 
Some feedback on the Validation proposal (nothing major, just possible suggestions):
 
 
-- strbegins and strEnds attributes:
 
Maybe names such as startsWith and endsWith may be a bit more descriptive of the function?
 
 
-- dblSpace:
 
This seems to be a very specific check. Maybe it can be generalized a bit without making it very different? For example, instead of dblSpace="3" we could do occurrence="  |3" (or a better name than 'occurrence'). This would allow to check for more than double spaces.
 
 
-- mustLoc:
 
How do you represent the '|' if it needs to be in the left part of the value?
 
 
-- existsInSource, disabled:
 
So far I think XLIFF is using yes|no for Boolean rather than true|false. Maybe we could be consistent?
 
 
cheers,
-yves
