Re: ISSUE-97 html translate, and global rules and inheritance

Hi,

if we point to the link you posted, then just a sentence before we have:
"Otherwise, either the element's translate attribute is in the inherit 
state, or the element is not an HTML element and thus does not have a 
translate attribute; in either case, the element's translation mode is 
in the same state as its parent element's, if any, or in the 
translate-enabled state, if the element is a root element."

Which for me basically means inheritance is given and default is yes. So 
the image alt text would be translatable. The "img" element would be 
translatable, but hasn't any text-node children, so there is nothing to 
translate here.

Cheers,
Karl
