[xliff-tools] Attributes "source-language" and "xml:lang"

[Martin Wunderlich]

Dear all, 

May I take the liberty to trouble you with another one of my XLIFF-beginner questions? I was wondering about the exact relationship between the attributes "source-language" in the <file> element and the attribute in "xml:lang" in the elements <xliff>, <source> and <target>. 

1) When it says "The optional xml:lang attribute is used to specify the language of the content of the document", does this mean it specifies the same language as "source-language" for the <file> elements?

2) If I have the attributes "source-language" and "target-language" set for a <file> element, would I still need to specify "xml:lang" for the sources and targets of the file's TU's?

If I understand the specs correctly, they don't enforce any mappings between these attributes. So, you could in theory have contradicting language settings, it seems. 

Cheers, 

Martin
