Hi'
Yep, I really think these MS' TBXs you found are a gold mine for this kind of work!
Obviously, I didn't mention it before, but if anyone wants to change the script, go ahead of course!
And if you need a different formatting, don't hesitate to ask! Though Don seems to be up to something...
Best of luck to you all,
Flux

@borut
Just a quick note to say:
- I haven't uploaded the Hrvatski TBXY since you're already taking care of the translation
- the v1.2 update added the ability to import from html/xml but didn't change the content, so your file is already up to date.
Good luck with your translation,

Re: Standard Microsoft Terminology... TBX
Hi FluxTorpedoe and Don,
I am currently preparing a massive informational message that should support the future translators (if any show up) interested in South Slavic languages. This will include references to a language name coding standard and MS sources, as well as TBX files, style guides files and TBXY files.
Therefore I haven't downloaded this last XYplorer version yet, but am following your work closely. I am doing it step-by-step, since I want to test it all before I post anything. It is only then that I will continue translation work, I guess.
Thanks to both of you for your efforts!! I am flabbergasted.

Re: Standard Microsoft Terminology... TBX
I still think an independent ITT.txt would be better:Borut wrote:I expected it. Well, das Leben ist hart und grausam.admin wrote:Forget it.1. Ability to parse a .TBX (=XML) into a list of source-target pairs...
Yes, that would also be an option. However, my reasoning behind proposing it as a part of the .lng was: A translation will be - let us face it - a never ending story. It is to be expected that several translators will keep a translation up to date. Also, decision about some terms being or not being translated is sometimes even a political one, not only a linguistic one. When such translation pares - as notes - along with, for instance, links to supportive literature sources or the like would be a part of the .lng file, then they are readily available to who ever continues to update an already existing translation.admin wrote:Good idea. But must it be in the LNG file? Why not simply an ITT.txt file the read and written by ITT?2. A "Notes area" in .lng file format, which would be supported through a "notes pad" in the ITT - so one could easily keep his/her notes while translating and have them always handy (in my case some translation term pairs). Actually, this could also be a third - translator defined - term pairs list.
1. The notes might be personal in a way you won't like to share with the public
2. The notes would increae the length of *.lng which affects XY's startup time and memory usage.
BTW, is anybody apart from Borut interested in a Sticky Notes section within the ITT?

Re: Standard Microsoft Terminology... TBX
OK, I agree. Notes can be published separately, if needed. A lot will depend on the "infrastructure" you are going to provide on your page, or in the forum, I guess.admin wrote:I still think an independent ITT.txt would be better:
