Hi folks,
I have now updated the PO Representation Guide after the recent discussions on
the mailing-list:
http://xliff-tools.freedesktop.org/snapshots/po-repr-guide/wd-xliff-profile-po.html
This document is a re-write of the previous drafts, and the main changes are
as follows:
- Now use OASIS style formatting
- Added section describing the PO file format
- Added section on handling Docbook-derived PO files (suggestion from Rodolfo
Raya)
- Updated section on handling source/target language
- Added section discussing TU IDs (suggestion from Yves Savourel)
- Added section discussing handling of Escape Sequences (suggestion from Yves
Savourel) *
- Added section discussing extraction from POT files
- Changed <context-group> 'name' attribute to 'po-entry' for extracted
comments and translator comments *
- Changed <context-group> 'name' attribute to 'po-reference' for PO
references *
- Added section on handling 'no-wrap' flag (thanks to Karl Eichwalder for
pointing this out)
- Updated section on handling 'x-format' flags
- Added references
* Correct handling of escape sequences and context-groups have been discussed
up and down on the mailing-list, and needs recommendations from the XLIFF TC.
What I've added is *my* view on this, and it might not be what's in the final
document (meaning: don't get upset if you don't agree - let's wait and hear
what the XLIFF TC says)
I hope to complete this fd.org sub-project as soon as possible - handing this
research over to the XLIFF Technical Committee, hopefully first week of June
latest.
Again, thanks to you all for your contributions. Very much appreciated!
cheers,
asgeir
