Issues with XLIFF 1.2 and XLIFF 2.0 in the Okapi plugin for OmegaT

[Manuel Souto Pico]

Dear all, 

The purpose of this email is to draw attention to a number of issues that have been reported a while ago. They affect the XLIFF filters in the plugin for OmegaT. 

There are a few important features that cannot be used in the XLIFF 1.2 filter, and using the XLIFF 2.0 filter entails the risk of losing formatting data, so it is not safe to use.

I'm listing the tickets here for everyone's convenience:

Translated and final segments in XLIFF 2.0

Protected entries in XLIFF show translation as source text

XLIFF 2 filter -- formatting lost in target

Thanks a lot and take care.

Cheers, Manuel
