DGT-OmegaT 3.2 update 4 published

Cross-compilation is a way to generate the native file when the source file is an XLIFF, even if you don't have the tool which was used to generate the XLIFF file.

An already known inconvenience of this technique is that it does not translate segments where OmegaT's segmentation rules give a different result than the segmentation which was present in the XLIFF file. This new version tries to solve part of this problem. The technique is explained in the technical guide for SDLXLIFF, for which a new version (different from the one published 2 weeks ago) is also published today.

This does not solve the problem of tags, so actually segments containing tags still have low chance to appear as translated when using cross-compilation. This case will be studied in a later version.

Stable version (DGT-OmegaT 3.1) does not include cross-compilation, so it is not impacted by these changes.

Also a new version of the script for Trados renumerotation, more precisely renum-to-trados.pl, is published: previous version had a too strong dependency to Perl's "Win32" library, which is not available on Unix systems. New version can use Data::GUID instead, or if not present, will not generate the notes, but the rest of the script will continue to work.
