Lists
Short messages make it more likely getting a hit from the translation cache. That breaking a sentence is not okay, is not hard to understand but why this example? &lt;translate> &lt;/translate>&lt;translate> &lt;/translate> Why not making each point a single translation unit without giving the translator the option forgetting to include the bullet point, which is markup, IMHO and therefore should not be part of a translation unit: The reason you are using bullet-lists is that each point usually does not rely on another one. They can be freely moved around. That's why the HTML output is an -element = unordered list. -- Rillke (talk) 15:25, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that this is exactly what the page currently says. :) It can only afford one example so it makes a middle way/generic one. Sometimes the whole list has to be in one unit, sometimes it's better to leave the bullet inside the unit for clarity, etc. --Nemo 15:33, 30 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I still prefer the first markup which is much simpler (only one pair of translate tags) and preserve the fact that they ar list items.
 * However when marking the page, the Yranslate tools should isolate each item in a separate item like this:

&lt;translate> &lt;translate> &lt;/translate>
 * General principles
 * Headings
 * Images
 * Tables
 * Categories
 * Links
 * Templates
 * i.e. Treat list item (eithier bulleted and unordered, or numbered and ordered) as well as as definition lists (and indented blocks) based on the prefixes "*", "#", ";" and ":" as separate paragraphs that make a separate translation. Treat them exactly like "==Headings==". Make sure that this separate blocks are kept into separate translation unit as they are never the same paragraph (though they may still be phrases in the same full sequence, even when their final punctuation is often dropped when it is an implied full stop for non-verbal sentences).
 * This would facilitate a lot the translation of long lists (without having to scroll vertically in the translate tool while looking at the source language at top but filling translation at bottom), and would allow the source to insert/remove some items or reorder them and wtill benefit from the translation memory.
