XLIFF Inline Markup SC

Hi all, I'm working on implementing the directionality as define here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff-inline/201204/msg00009.html as we discussed. I'm noticing now one thing: - We have source-dir/target-dir in segment and ignore - We have dir in source and target This is actually a bit redundant since there is only one source/target per segment/ignorable. Wouldn't it be simpler to just have dir in source/target or just have source-dir/target-dir in segment/ignorable? Cheers, -yves

Hi Yves, I would go with just "dir" on source/target. It is more familiar from other standards and shorter.

Hi all, One more note on the directionality: The source and target element take their default directionality from the (grand-parent) unit element. But we have source and target in the Matches module as well. There, the default should be taken from the <match> element. Should we add the xlf:srcDir and xlf:trgDir attributes in <match>. Or should we have the Matches module define its own attributes? (I would tend to go for adding the XLIFF core attributes rather than using special one from the match module). Also I suppose those srcDir and trgDir in <match> should take their default from the parent <unit>. I don't see any problem with all this as long as we define srcDir and trgDir in general terms: attributes that set the directionality for some children element and take their default values from some parents. Any thoughts. -yves
