这里的基本问题是,我们生活在一个多语言世界(希腊语、希伯来语、当地语言、广泛交流语言),但 Paratext 中的编辑器并不承认这一点。因此,项目 X 中的“所有”内容都是 X 语言的。这种方法过于简单化。
需要一种方法来标记希腊语、希伯来语和 LWC,并为每种语言使用独特的 SFM 样式,并在“有效/无效”列表中单独维护这些语言。并且不要将它们与 X 语言的字符、拼写或词汇表清单混合在一起。(即使是有效的 LWC 标点符号,对于语言 X 来说也可能是无效的。)
在我们工作的地方,今天我们可能会将脚注中来自 LWC 的单词中发现的某个奇怪字母标记为有效。但这样做是否打开了可能性,即某人可能会在 X 语言中使用该“有效”字符引入拼写错误,因为我们将其标记为有效?也就是说,它对 LWC 是有效的,但如果用于 X 语言,则是无效的。
那么我们如何区分这一点?为什么我们不能简单地将这些标记为不同的语言?这似乎是最明显的解决方案。我所知道的每一个功能合理的编辑器都识别“语言”,在这个翻译行业中,我们当然也应该如此。
当然,这不需要经常使用,但需要得足够频繁,以至于一个解决方案将非常有帮助。(我同意 anon848905 的观点,仅仅“忽略”它们是一个不太理想的解决方案。)这些在某些情况下是“有效”的;我们需要 Paratext 足够智能,能够识别上下文(SFM 括号)并根据其特定子集进行验证。
The basic problem here is we are working in a multilingual world (Greek, Hebrew, local language, language of wider communication), but the editor in Paratext does not recognize that. So “everything” in project X is in the X language. And this approach is just too simplistic.
What is needed is a way to mark Greek, Hebrew, and LWC, with unique SFM styles (for each) and these be maintained separately in the “Valid/Invalid” list. And NOT be mixed in with the X Language’s character, spelling, or wordlist inventories. (Even valid LWC punctuation might be invalid for language X.)
Where we work, today we might mark some weird letter as valid found in a word from the LWC in a footnote. But does doing this open the possibility that someone may introduce a typo in X language using that “valid” character, because we marked it as valid? I.e. it is valid for the LWC, but it is INVALID if used in the X Language.
So how do we differentiate this? And why can’t we just mark these as different languages? That seems the most obvious solution. Every other reasonably powerful editor I know recognizes “language”, surely we should in this business of translation.
Granted, this isn’t needed a lot, but it is needed often enough that a solutions would be very helpful. (And I agree with anon848905 that just “ignoring” them is a less than ideal solution.) These are “valid” in certain cases; we need Paratext to be smart enough to recognize the context (the SFM brackets) and validate them based on their particular subset.
