    Subject: Merge New Translation Request


    
    
    
    
    Hello, I am joining the mailing list of TC from IBM.  I would like to solve
    one of our problems by introducing XLIFF...
    
    In our process, translators sometimes receive updated source text (second
    shipment) before completing the translation of the previous source (first
    shipment).  The translator requires some manual process to merge the
    translation for the updated request.  It is done by extracting memory from
    first shipment and apply the extracted memory (not-reviewed-yet because it
    is a middle of translation) along with the older (reviewed-quality) memory
    to the second shipment.  After applying these memories, we cannot
    distinguish the segment which has not-reviewed-yet from the segment which
    has reviewed-quality translation.
    
    Above is one of the problem we have in supporting the updated translation
    we call it as multiple shipments.
    
    Does XLIFF can work with the multiple shipments?
    
    I think XLIFF can store translation state as an attribute of <target>
    element such as "needs-review-translation."  If we extract this information
    into a memory and apply to second shipment, we can store the same state at
    <target> or state-qualifier of <alt-trans>.  We might be able to
    distinguish the segment which include not-reviewed-yet translation from
    reviewed ones in a XLIFF editor.
    
    Are there any other ways to merge translations in XLIFF?
    
    Thank you and Best Regards,
