Discussion
Olivier:"Guides Translatablility"
- Guides are considered references in LO literature
+ Much appreciated by L10n communities
+ Serve as reference for training
+ Also migration consulting job
+ Many How-tos for newbies,
+ Soon to close the published/release
- Issues
+ Guides are written in English with "pure LibreOffice" and ODT format
+ Changes between release can trigger high volume of retranslation
+ Computer Aided Translation (CAT) is a stand-alone tool - work on files
+ can share translation memory (TM) but work "per file"
+ Depends on desktop, no shared work, until finished
+ TM helps, but nevertheless, translator must approve each suggestion
+ CAT tools hides XML gribberish, good, but XML ch graphics and
concepts are presentaitons images such digital photos
Drew: Recovering illness
+ Base context, usage of word "Link":
+ ="Join" in a SQL statement
+ ="relation" when connecting 2 tables in a RDB
+ ="link" when creating a form (in Base context).
