Overview of WorldServer Support of Segment Identifier (SID)

WorldServer supports SIDs in the following ways:
  • Defines how SID markers should be used in customer content
  • Leverages only properly defined SID markers
  • Enforces boundaries defined by proper SID usage
  • Associates defined SIDs with translation pairs
  • Enforces supported uniqueness requirements
  • Leverages SID content against SID TM entries
Some documents may not lend themselves to supporting SIDs. The use of SIDs within customer content should not be immediately visible to the end user. Document types that allow editors to embed non-viewable tags are ideal. For instance, XML and HTML documents are prime candidates. Other document types may or may not support embedding of information that could be used to define SID boundaries and levels.
SID support is not handled completely by WorldServer. WorldServer does not support the following features:
  • Completely define how SIDs are represented in customer content
  • Embed SID markers into customer content
  • Enforce proper use of SID markers within content
