Dear Roger, dear list members, As regards your wild guess, I am not sure. There must be hundreds of thousands of XML-based (Trados) TTX files translated each day by thousands of different translators. In addition, there are plenty of other translation, localization and terminology tools using XML or XML-based files requiring manual human processing. Just an idea. With best regards, Nico van de Water.

Allow me to explain what I mean by "exclusively processed by machines." First, consider the opposite - XML documents that are processed by humans. An XML document is received and then displayed directly to a human. Or the XML document is received, transformed to a visually friendly form such as HTML, and then the visually friendly form is displayed to a human. XML documents that are exclusively processed by machines don't have a human in the loop. An XML document is received and then processed by a machine. No human ever sees the XML. Are there any statistics on the percentage of XML documents that are exclusively processed by machines? I'll take a wild guess and say that 99% of all XML documents are exclusively processed by machines. Is that a reasonable estimate? /Roger _______________________________________________________________________ XML-DEV is a publicly archived, unmoderated list hosted by OASIS to support XML implementation and development.
