RE: [xliff-schemas] Resent from Eric...

Hi 
Eric,

 

thank 
you for posting the list. I've just a note about user-defined 
values of this list. Listed values are very common but in the praxis we 
are using very often a special units -- for example 'LU' (Localisation 
Units), which is the only unit used by some of our partners and is completely 
different from 'Word' or 'Character'. In these cases, vendors using special 
units are not able to utilize the <unit> element. What would you 
recommend for such cases?

 

Thanks,

Milan

  [xliff-schemas] Resent from Eric...

  

  
Hi All,
Eric 
  asked me to send this mail to you while his new email is set-up with xliff 
  lists.  Enda

  
 

  
Folks,

  
Apologies for taking so long to get this one out. Last week we briefly braintormed a number of 
  possibilities for a fixed list of values 
  in the "unit" attribute of the "count" element. The function of the unit attribute is to say what is being 
  counted in a specific instance of 
  "count."

  
byte
character
word
page
trans-unit
bin-unit
sentence
line
paragraph

  
the specification includes a value called "item" which is 
  supposed to be trans-unit + bin-unit. I 
  am unhappy with that name as it's not at all clear that item = trans-unit + bin-unit. Does 
  anyone know whether this combination 
  unit is, in fact, needed?

  
Eric
