Present: Sven, Gabor, Micah, Yan, Chase, Russ

Apologies: Peter, Derek

Russell Taga

  • Yan introduced Russell Taga, Senior Director of Product Development at Welocalize, to the team.

Beta Reader

  • Will invite Beta Reader of the manifesto, Christian Lieske, Yves Savourel and David Filip.

Licensing

  • GlobalSight is under Apache 2 license
  • Two separate items - 1)Specifications: Keep it strict, 2) Reference implementation (with open source code): Keep it loose
  • Sven is paying the lawyers.

Compliance

  • Two separate levels - 1) XLIFF:Doc creator, 2) XLIFF:Doc consumer/processor
  • We probably need to develop some tools to validate implementation against specifications.
  • Sven suggest to have a master thesis student to create a testing tools.
  • Cannot test everything programmatically. Probably need to provide some test scripts for people to validate with. For example, are the segments merged correctly.

Interoperability Package

  • Gabor will review the document and provide feedback this weekend

XLIFF:Doc / HTML Preview

  • Ok to specify path (relative or absolute) for CSS and XSLT files.
  • We cannot require that XLIFF:doc always be used within the interoperability package.
  • We need a mechanism for including files that don’t get translated, but are necessary to create a preview, inside the interoperability package. Micah will write that up.
  • Need ways to report and trap error messages during XSLT preview.
  • Revisiting idea of one source file per xliff. Decision: we will re-write 1 file per XLIFF to be 1 document (gabor: "content unit") per xliff (1 docx per xliff, 1 package of xml + svg per xliff for a cms origin, ex.).
  • Consensus on where the tool should get the CSS and XSLT files for generic XLIFF:doc. 1)Use the server copy by default, 2)The CAT tool can use its own, 3)If the CAT tool doesn’t write one, we will have a reference online for download.

Implementation and Sample Files

  • We need example files to start with implementation
  • Every group on phone had engineer/architects already on the call, except ONTRAM. Sven will identify someone.
  • Micah will make some sample files
  • Sven will then work up some sample XSLT/CSS
