Hi,
I am planing to change the sdf fileformat slightly.
there is the 3. filed in every line which seems to be unused.
I would like to use it to store information like the new KeyID and other
things which will help to identify strings which will have to be
retranslated after the sourcestring has changed, but that is still to come.
Anyways tzhe change would be to have a formated string in the 3. field
of the sdf file (right after the filename)
It should look like this:
fieldname:fieldcontent;filed2:data2;field3:data3
and so on, as required.
Would that break anybodys processes?
If noone objects I would like to go on next week.
Comments as always welcome.
Thanks for your attention
Gregor
From what it sounds like, the Translate Toolkit will be unaffected. Will
this become a compulsory field in the format? In other words, can we
count on having this unique identifier? It might be worthwhile to then
rather start using this identifier in our conversion process than the
one we currently construct.
I would like to not have it in the file since it is calculated from
other fields in the line. So it would be redundant information.
Even worse it would be wrong if strings are moved to a different
location in the source.
But if a program to generate the IDs is supplied they still can be used.
We'll obviously need the community to help us test this so that we can
continue with self confidence after the change.
That would be good indeed.
