Element-by-element recommendations for translators: All-inclusive edition

Since the distinction between block and inline elements is ultimately controlled by the container of the element and the processing associated with it, the same element might be a block in one context and an inline element in another. Specializing document types might vary this behavior according to the needs of the document type being created, and the distinctions given below are provided only as a guide to known behavior with the base DITA document types.

Notes on the tables below

For specializations, the second column gives the ancestor element, and the third column gives a quick yes/no guide to indicate whether all behavior is inherited. If something is not inherited, the change will appear in bold.
For any specialization not listed below, the suggested default is to fall back to the closest listed ancestor.
The block/inline presentation column indicates whether the element is formatted as a single block.
The block/inline translation column indicates whether the element represents a complete translatable segment. For example, the element <cmd> is presented inline with other elements, but represents a complete translation segment.
Items marked as block*** are blocks on their own, but might appear in the middle of a segment. They should not break the flow of the current segment. These are considered "subflow" elements for translation. We recommend that, when possible, these elements should only be placed at sentence boundaries to aid in translation.
For all elements, the @translate attribute will override the suggested default translation setting. So, a translation setting of "yes" or "no" in the table below does not guarantee that an element will always, or never, be translated.
If an element has translatable attributes, they are listed in the last column. Note that the @spectitle and @specentry attributes are described with a footnote.
The <keyword> element (as well as specializations of <keyword>) is an inline, phrase-like element when it appears in the body of a document. It can also appear in the <keywords> element in <topicmeta> (for maps) or in the <prolog> (for topic). When it appears in the <keywords> element, each <keyword> represents an individual segment, and is not part of a larger segment; in that location, <keyword> can be considered a "subflow" element.

bookmap elements (new in DITA 1.1)

xnal-d elements (XNAL domain) (new in DITA 1.1)

The XNAL information is all metadata, so it generally does not need to be translated. Exceptions might be needed when selections from this metadata are used for display purposes. The standard behavior might need to change based on local business rules. For example, in some cases it might be appropriate to translate the honorific, country, or organizationname elements.

DITAVAL elements

The DITAVAL elements are not specialized, and are not rendered on their own, so related columns are dropped from this table. There are no translatable attributes in the DITAVAL element set.

As of DITA 1.2, the only element that directly contains text for translation is <alt-text>.

Element name	Block/Inline (translation)	Translatable content?
`<alt-text>`	block	yes
`<endflag>`	block	yes (inside nested elements)
`<prop>`	block	yes (inside nested elements)
`<revprop>`	block	yes (inside nested elements)
`<startflag>`	block	yes (inside nested elements)
`<style-conflict>`	block	N/A (empty element)
`<val>`	block	yes (inside nested elements)
