[tei-council] proof of concept of i18n work

[Martin Holmes]

Lovely work indeed.

If you look at row 1648, there's an instance of another kind of problem 
we've briefly discussed. The English <desc> for vRange is:

defines the range of allowed values for a feature, in the form of an 
<gi>fs</gi>, <gi>vAlt</gi>, or primitive value; for the value of an 
<gi>f</gi> to be valid, it must be subsumed by the specified range; if 
the <gi>f</gi> contains multiple values (as sanctioned by the 
<att>org</att> attribute), then each value must be subsumed by the 
<gi>vRange</gi>.

The Italian, which is not marked as requiring update or review, is this:

definisce la gamma di valori ammessi per un tratto, sotto forma di un 
fs, di un vAlt, o di valore primitivo; affinché il valore di un f sia 
valido deve essere sussunto dalla gamma specificata; se f contiene 
valori multipli (come sancito dall'attributo org) allora ogni valore 
deve essere sussunto da vRange.

This doesn't include any of the <gi> tags in the English.

This instance is actually fixable by anyone at all -- you don't need to 
know Italian to identify the tag names -- but other similar issues might 
not be (<emph>, <soCalled>, etc.).

Cheers,
Martin
