Conformance Notes - Okapi XLIFF Toolkit 1.1.3, Sep-10-2016
The Okapi XLIFF Toolkit offers a library to read, manipulate and write XLIFF
2 documents. It implements the following parts of the XLIFF 2.0 latest
version of the specification:
- The Core
- The Translation Candidates module
- The Glossary module
- The Metadata module
- The Validation module
- The Change Tracking module (Important: not all constraints are validated for this module)
The Lynx application provided in this toolkit is a
Reader agent, a Writer agent and Modifier agent and it is XLIFF 2.0
conformant.
Notes
While they do not affect conformance, there are a few other aspects of
the library that can be seen as limitations:
- The values of
dataRef, dataRefStart, dataRefEnd
(and therefore the values of id in <data>)
are not always the same when writing back the document. (The library
manipulates them and therefore may change them).
- Insignificant white spaces, XML comments and XML processing
instructions are not preserved in all places.
