OASIS XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) TC

Hi Andrzej,

From my perspective, a richer segment and structural separation can lead to a better and richer interoperability between XLIFF and xml:tm, where the typical XLIFF "extraction unit" is a tm:te and a segment is a tm:tu.

I think a valid goal for all of this is 
(1) to have a single representation for segmented content within XLIFF 2.0, and 
(2) to ensure that the representation of segmentation that happens post-extraction is the same representation as one that happens in the extraction process.

cheers,
asgeir

Hi Asgeir,

I agree with your goals. There should be one representation for segmented content, which could very well be a traditional
