Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (XLIFF-72) XLIFF 2.1 spec: the dir values are not sufficient for proper BiDi support
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/XLIFF-72?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] David Filip updated XLIFF-72: ----------------------------- Labels: ready-for-vote (was: material request_tc_discussion) > XLIFF 2.1 spec: the dir values are not sufficient for proper BiDi support > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XLIFF-72 > URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/XLIFF-72 > Project: OASIS XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) TC > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: other > Affects Versions: 2.1_cos01 > Environment: http://markmail.org/thread/mjlilczn64jvh2yw > Reporter: David Filip > Assignee: David Filip > Labels: ready-for-vote > Fix For: 2.1_os > > > I am looking at this: > http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.1/xliff-core-v2.1.html#dir > The possible values are lrt, rtl, and auto > (with auto "determined heuristically, based on the first strong directional > character in scope, see [UAX #9]"). > That is the same as the HTML dir attribute > https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/dom.html#the-dir-attribute > But that is not enough, because the direction based on the first char > results in bad rendering at times. > So the HTML standard added <bdi> and <bdo> > And also CSS needed to add even more control, with unicode-bidi: > https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#direction > The values in the CSS2 standard seem to be normal, embed, bidi-override, > inherit > But more are coming: normal, embed, isolate, bidi-override, > isolate-override, plaintext > (https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#unicode-bidi) > Mozilla and Chrome (and probably others will follow) already support these > values: > https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/unicode-bidi > Chrome also supports "initial" (I don't check about Firefox) > So the proposed values for dir seem insufficient. > Kind of a pity to release something that is already outdated, without > learning from what others did... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.2#6258)
