When I generate XLIFF Files for translation, I may
include 1 or more alt-trans elements containing suggested
translations
Translators may use one of these suggestions, or
they may translate from scratch
Typically, a Translation Tool will present all
available alt-trans elements with their parent trans-unit, allowing translators
to select and optionally modify one of these suggestions
I am looking for some mechanism to mark an
alt-trans element to indicate that a translation tool has accepted the alt-trans
as the required translation.
A post processing tool can identify an accepted
suggestion, and compare the target with the alt-trans to see if further
modifications have been made to the target after accepting the
suggestion
There seem to be several possible ways to do this
1) By preference, I would like to add a new
attribute to alt-trans, to indicate that the alt-trans has been
accepted
2) Or I could use a note element
3) I could also use context group, if there
was a relevant allowed value within context-type
4) I could also use tool etc, but this will not be
standard
If we agree that this is something that other users
may require, can we pick a method and include it in the recommendations
list
