Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translating ODF files on Pootle

André,

Yes, it was a problem of the toolkit, and they just fixed it. We will 
apply the patch in WordForge, as we are still using the same code.

This does not really solve the problem, which is to get a working filter 
for ODF-XLIFF, but so far it can be done with Omega-T

The main issue with the toolkit is that it does not keep the structure 
of XLIFF files internally, but it creates its own internal 
representation. If something is not specifically represented internally, 
then it is not stored, and therefore not saved back in the file. This is 
why WordForge ia moving away from the toolkit, because not being native 
to XLIFF it is very hard to work on implementation of XLIFF features.

Lokalize does not have this problem because it keeps all the data of an 
XLIFF file, independently of understanding it or not.
