Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (XLIFF-43) Inconsistent provisions for Locale Filter at structural elements


    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/XLIFF-43?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=65453#comment-65453 ] 

Yves Savourel commented on XLIFF-43:
------------------------------------

The issue I posted merely point out that the spec contained two examples for  its:localeFilterList in <unit>, while all the conformance text and the validation artifacts of the current draft say it's allowed only in <mrk> and <sm/>.  That is a simple editorial fix.

Now if you want to make a feature change and allow it in <unit>, you may want to make a case for it. (Maybe you did during the call).

My opinion on having ITS data categories on structural elements is as before: I'm not sure it's a good idea because it implies yet again more inheritance (the true bane of XLIFF processors). I don't think any other ITS data categories is allowed on <unit>.

I'm also not really eager to see *any* localeFilter data (structural or inline) in an XLIFF file: The core was designed to be bilingual, relying on an optional module to implement conditional targets is asking for trouble: If you create such file, most tools will not process it properly.

It is *a lot* better to create specific XLIFF document for each target. I'm surprised there is actually no text in the locale Filter section about that recommendation.

> In section "5.9.6.3 Locale Filter":
> We say:
> [[
> For both structural and inline elements, use <mrk> or an <sm/> / <em/> pair with
> the following attributes: its:localeFilterList and
> its:localeFilterType.
> ]]
> And immediately below, the section "5.9.6.3.1 Structural Elements" goes on
> showing two examples, both where the its:localeFilterList
> is used on <unit> rather than <mrk> or <sm/>.
> Since the definition of its:localeFilterList does not mention <unit> as an
> element where it is used, I assume the examples in
> section 5.9.6.3.1 need to be fixed.
