Topic: Too many placeables/tags
Poster: Srini Venkataraman
Recently I had received a EN>TA doc for translation. wc=2600 and placeables=630. Practically every third or 4th word had a tag. Alternately after a few words 3 to 4 tags together were there. Placement of the tags in target became an issue as the word sequence is different.
WFPro3.2.2 does not count placeables, so had used WFA just to get the count.
My query is:
Is it proper to ask for extra rate as the flow is highly affected during translation, looking to place the tags?
Are there any work arounds like completing the translation first and then start placing the tags?
Since the tags should be in acsending order whereas the target word sequence is in different order- so tag position does mot match the source- what to do about this?
