    Subject: RE: [xliff] <bin-unit> problem


     
     
    On the issue of file name changes:  This issue is prevalent to a high degree in Java with ISO 639/3166 tags appended to properties, ListResourceBundles and typically to graphics, albeit through custom code.  It's unlikely that the Java community would move from that format.  Any argument over "same file names in language folders" vs. "same file names with language tags" is "heated" and probably not worth labouring over.
     
    I think I would prefer to see the "Tool" generate customised file name transformations based on specific file format profiles (i.e., Java or GIF for Java) rather than further muddying an already complex XLIFF document.  For example, a "Tool" could conceivably read the content of the <file> block, assess the source language and then using the <target xml:lang="xx"> construct and build a map of the output file requirements.  This would work for graphics.
     
    Just my 1 Euro's worth...
     
    Cheers
    Steve.

    would give something like:




    And the filter would have its own mechanism to put back the ALT text at the
    right place.

    An alternative is to use the element with only one
