we're using two methods to chunk text and format twext translation:

  1. space chunks
  2. super chunks

users can edit both methods in xcroll or normal single text input window

[edit] space chunk

space chunk is more like normal translation, and it's easier to type

just  add  a space  wherever
sencillamente  añade  un espacio  donde
you want  to chunk  text
tú quieres  segmentar  un texto
do the same  with  the translation
haz lo mismo  con  la traeducción
 
empty line  before  new paragraph
renglón vacío  antes de  parágrafo nuevo

twexter reads space chunk input and makes it more human readable

just           add    a space     wherever
sencillamente  añade  un espacio  donde
you want    to chunk   text
tú quieres  segmentar  un texto
do the same   with  the translation
haz lo mismo  con   la traeducción
 
empty line     before    new paragraph
renglón vacío  antes de  parágrafo nuevo

space chunk is good for humane twext input and prepares us for direct edit in monospace twexter:</font>

just add a space wherever
sólo    añade  un espacio    donde
you want to chunk text
tú quieres     segmentar      un texto
do the same with the translation
haz   lo mismo      con      la traeducción
 
empty line before new paragraph
renglón vacío     antes de    parágrafo nuevo

[edit] super chunks

super chunks clearly relate text and translation in vertical array

one return     un regreso
after          despues de
each chunk     cada trozo
               
two returns    dos regresos
after          despues de
paragraphs     parágrafos
               
               
three returns  tres regresos
for            para
new paragraph  parágrafo nuevo
or             o
chorus         coro

super chunks are good for machine translation and are also good for human proof reading
