Dear all, Please find below a summary of 2023-08-15 XLIFF-TC call. Best regards, Yoshito ----------------------------- Attendance: Rodolfo, Mihai, Yoshito. We have quorum I. Administration Approved August 1 st meeting minutes -
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/202308/msg00001.html II. Technical work pgs (Plural/Gender/Select) mopdule Yoshito has a concern that plural variants might require different number of <unit>s. Existing XLIFF implementation might not be ready when units are not one to one mapping. Yoshito asked if we can use <segment>s instead of <unit>s. Mihai was wondered if a note can be attached to each segment, because providing plural example for each plural category is very important for translators. Rodolfo answered to this. <notes> can be only attached to <unit> level, but each <note> can point to each segment (and it will be simplified in XLIFF 2.2). Mihai will bring back this question – using <segment>s instead of <unit>s to carry language specific variants. We’ll continue to discuss this topic in next TC call III. Promotion and Liaison ISO standard status updates - No updates. B. Message format working group updates (if any) - Message format working group will have face to face meeting in next month. - Open design item – support for “attributed text”. For example, when you format a message including month and date, consumer application may want to know substring corresponding to each date field.
