Subject: csprd01-27 Resource Data Module Design


Hi Jörg,

 

Regarding the following comment you made during the recent XLIFF 2.0 public review:

 

The Resource Data module is yet another data container that specifically can refer to external data, and might also present certain contextual information (see Section 3.1). However, for employing this module to provide guidance to the translator or the processing tool it might be misplaced under the <file> element, and could certainly also useful on the <unit> and <segment> level to provide preceding and subsequent contextual content information. In addition, further examples should be provided to clarify the purpose and rational of this module.

 

We are making the following change to the spec to address this and other feedback:

 

·         Allow <res:resourceData> at <file> and <unit>.

·         We will not allow it at <segment> because the TC voted by ballot to remove all modules and extensions from <segment> to help enable re-segmentation.

·         Allow <res:source> and <res:target> either to reference external resources or to contain elements from any namespace.

 

The following examples will be provided in the spec:

 

In this example, the <reourceData> module at <file> level references external XML that contains resource data for a user interface control. The control is the container for the text “Load Registry Config” and needs to be resized to accommodate the increased length of the string due to translation. The <resourceItemRef> element contained in the <resourceData> module at <unit> level provides the reference between them. The name attribute of the <unit> element could serve as the key for an editor to associate <source> and <target> text with the resource data contained in the referenced XML and display it for modification.

 

<file>

  <res:resourceData>

    <res:resourceItem id="r1" mimeType="text/xml" context="no">

      <res:source href="" />

      <res:target href="" />

    </res:resourceItem> 

  </res:resourceData>

  <unit id="1" name="130;WIN_DLG_CTRL_">

    <segment id="1" state="translated">

      <source>Load Registry Config</source>

      <target>Registrierungskonfiguration laden</target>

    </segment>

    <res:resourceData>

      <res:resourceItemRef ref="r1" />

    </res:resourceData>   

  </unit>

</file>

 

In this example, the <resourceData> module at the <unit> level contains elements from another namespace (abc), which could be displayed for modification in an editor that understands how to process the namespace.

     

<file>

  <unit id="1">

    <segment id="1" state="translated">

      <source>Load Registry Config</source>

      <target>Registrierungskonfiguration laden</target>

    </segment>

    <res:resourceData>

      <res:resourceItem id="r1" context="no">

        <res:source>

          <abc:resourceType>button</abc:resourceType>

          <abc:resourceHeight>40</abc:resourceHeight>

          <abc:resourceWidth>75</abc:resourceWidth>

        </res:source>

        <res:target>

          <abc:resourceType>button</abc:resourceType>

          <abc:resourceHeight>40</abc:resourceHeight>

          <abc:resourceWidth>150</abc:resourceWidth>

        </res:targete>

      </res:resourceItem>

    </res:resourceData>

  </unit>

</file>

 

In this example, the <resourceData> module references multiple static images that may be displayed in an editor to use as context while translating or reviewing.

 

<file>

  <res:resourceData>

    <res:resourceItem id="r1" mimeType="image/jpeg" context="yes">

      <res:source xml:lang="en-us" href="" />

      <res:target xml:lang="lb-lu" href="" />

      <res:reference xml:lang="de-de" href="" />

    </res:resourceItem>

    <res:resourceItem id="r2" mimeType="image/jpeg" context="yes">

      <res:source xml:lang="en-us" href="" />

      <res:target xml:lang="lb-lu" href="" />

    </res:resourceItem>

  </res:resourceData>

  <unit id="1">

    <segment id="1" state="translated">

      <source>Remove Registry Config</source>

      <target>Registrierungskonfiguration entfernen</target>

    </segment>

    <res:resourceData>

      <res:resourceItemRef ref="r1" />

      <res:resourceItemRef ref="r2" />

    </res:resourceData> 

  </unit>

</file>

 

 

Thanks for your interest in XLIFF 2.0!

 

Ryan

Hi Chet and Bryan,

 

Many thanks to both of you for your very prompt replies, and the very good explanation of the OASIS processes. This helps a lot in learning and understanding the different steps to standardization of different organization.

 

All the best,

 

Jörg
