In some cases instead of counting pixel-length it is important to count the number of used characters in a segment or a line. translate5 supports this also.

Support of

minWidth and maxWidth

With translate5 you can set a min-width minWidth and/or a max-width maxWidth for a segment.

Support for line-count and line-length

...

• size-unit
  • If character-length or pixel-length based length check
  • Possible values:
    • pixel
    • char
• minWidthminLength
  • Minimum length in number of pixel / characters
  • Refers to the length of a complete trans-unit of an xliff file, even if it spans multiple segments.
  • This means for min-length set in a task template for let's say a word document, that the length restriction refers to a whole paragraph.
  • If maxNumberOfLines is set, minLength minWidth is not supported so far (ask translate5's development team, if you need it)
• maxWidthmaxLength
  • Maximum length in number of pixel / characters
  • Refers to the length of a complete trans-unit of an xliff file, even if it spans multiple segments.
  • This means for maxLength maxWidth set in a task template for let's say a word document, that the length restriction refers to a whole paragraph.
  • If maxNumberOfLines is set, maxLength maxWidth refers to the length of each line, otherwise maxLength maxWidth refers to the trans-unit.
    
    • With maxNumberOfLines set, trans-units must not span multiple segments!
• translate5:maxNumberOfLines
  • How many lines a segment (not a trans-unit) should maximally have
  • If maxNumberOfLines is set,
    • maxLength maxWidth refers to the length of each line, otherwise maxLength maxWidth refers to the trans-unit
    • minLength minWidth is not supported so far (ask translate5's development team, if you need it)

    • Trans-units must not span multiple segments!
      If you need maxNumberOfLines to span multiple segments, contact translate5s development team

• For pixel-based length check:
  • For each character for a certain font and a certain font-size the pixel-width
    
    • Definitions in pixel-mapping.xlsx
  • Font-size and used font of current task
    • Definitions in task-template.xml
    • Would be possible to overwrite them in xliff 1.2, yet this is not yet implemented (ask translate5s development team, if you need it)
