If I understand this correct (and generalize) this sound like you want some
change tracking mechanisms.
I was thinking <alt-trans> itself would be used for this. We had some talk
long ago about how to make the difference between an <alt-trans> meant to be
a translation proposition and an <alt-trans> meant to be an "older" version
of the translation. But I don't think we worked out a solution.
Talk to you soon.

Subject: [xliff] Accepting Suggested Translations In XLIFF
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
Mat
