Also, the terminology matching isn't as quite clear-cut process as
many tools make it to look (Pootle, too, as far as I can understand --
I know Pootle only superficially). E.g., is there a support for the
context variants (translate as A1 in context C1, as A2 in C2 etc.)?
Terminology matching is ultimately a human decision, a machine can only
do so much. Context itself is difficult for a machine to determine.
I mean is there even a technical support in
Pootle for the context variants, as described?
Also, could you please elaborate on the XLIFF
process you mentioned You said: "But if you
download an XLIFF version for offline
translation then Sasha's suggestions would be
listed as alternative translations. You can use
Virtaal to edit these offline XLIFF files." Does
this mean to even use these "alternative
translations", one has to switch to the XLIFF
format?
The skills needed to understand the issues of translation and
terminology use and development are the reasons why I prefer to have all
translators go through a vetting stage (suggestions only) before being
given full translate rights.
Ohh, you are so right.
