Since forever the DDTP project has always considered the paragraphs to be
the "blocks" that people can translate. I can certainly see that in this
case you don't need to see the surrounding context to be able to translate
it, but is this always the case?

Not being a translator myself I'm not sure if it better to provide the
whole chunk, and make the tool recognise paragraphs, or to split the lists
into seperate chunks to translate seperately...

Have a nice day,
