subState question

[Ryan King <ryanki@microsoft.com>]

Hi XLIFF TC,

 

As a module, translation candidates support is not required. In the case where it is not used, if a target segment has been auto-translated, can subState be something like this:

 

<segment state="translated" subState="xyz:mt" id="1">

          <source>This tutorial teaches you how to create a simple "Hello, world" app.</source>

          <target>Este tutorial te enseña cómo crear un simple "Hola, mundo" app.</target>

<segment>

 

Basically use the values defined for match.type (http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/xliff-core-v2.0.html#candidates_type) as subState values?

 

I see the following processing requirement for extension mechanisms, but not sure if this is intended to apply to subState or other “sub” values:

4.9.3 Processing Requirements

·         A user extension, whether implemented using <mda:metadata> or using a custom namespace, MUST NOT provide the same functionality as an existing XLIFF core or module feature, however it MAY complement an extensible XLIFF core feature or module feature or provide a new functionality at the provided extension points.

Thanks,

Ryan
