Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "ESW Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by YvesSavourel: http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0504ReqTechWriter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Author: Yves Savourel - = Front Matter = + = Usage Scenario = + + == Description == + + As a technical writer develops a content that is meant to be localized, he or she may need to label specific parts of the text for various purposes, such as: + + - terms that should not be translated or translated using a pre-existing terminology list. + + - sections of the document that should remain in the source language. + + - acronyms or complicated expressions with an explanation note for the translator. + + The use of a standardized set of tags allows the authoring systems to provide a common solution for these special marks across all XML documents. This, in turn, increases the feasibility of a simple interface for performing the labeling task. + + For example, the thechnical writer selects a portion of text not to translate and clicks a button to mark it up as "not translatable" with a tag identical across all document types. The availability of such interface allows the author to provide with a minimal effort a better context of work for the translators. + + + == Stakeholders == + + This scenario relates to the technical writers developping localizable content, to the developers of authoring systems, and to the translators. +
