  • 1.  Directionality

    Posted 03-13-2009 02:38
    Feedback for TMX 2.0 proposal, with relation to XLIFF:
    
    The TMX 2.0 draft does not have any information on how to represent directionality information.
    
    For example if there is a span of LTR text embedded inside a RTL segment, how the change of directionality should be indicated?
    
    All inline codes allow for non-TMX attributes, so a its:dir attribute could be used for example. But it would be probably useful to
    indicate this information in the specification.
    
    The same remark applies to XLIFF 2.0.
