Title: 
Internationalization of property and entity descriptions

Date Added: 
3-Nov-2002

Description: Need a common document format for carrying 
internationalization information for entity and property 
descriptions

Resolution 
Date: 21-Nov-2002

Proposed Resolution: 

Proposed notation is derived from the xliff 
standard, but oriented more toward resource descriptions than 
translation.
<wsrp:localization>
<resource 
resname='...'>
 <value xml:lang='en'>English 
text</value>
 <value xml:lang='fr'>French 
text</value>
</resource>
...
</wsrp:localization>

 

Example use for property descriptions 
is:
<model xml:lang="en" localizationURL="...">
   
<propertydescription name="p1" type="xsd:string" label="Property 
1"
         hint="this is a few 
sentences for some tooltip"
         
label-resname="xyzzy" hint-resname="abccd"/>
   
...
</model>

 

<wsrp:localization>
<resource 
resname='xyzzy'>
 <value xml:lang='en'>English property 1 
label</value>
 <value xml:lang='fr'>Label de property 
un</value>
</resource>
...
</wsrp:localization>

 

and for Entity descriptions:  (note 
that this is a change in the entity description format as well)

 

<entitydescription xml:lang="en" 
localizationURL="...">
   <shorttitle resname="abc">Short 
entity title</shorttitle>
   <title 
resname="xyz">Entity title in 
english</title>
</entitydescription>

 

<wsrp:localization>
<resource 
resname='abc'>
 <value xml:lang='en'>Short entity 
title</value>
 <value xml:lang='fr'>Title court de 
l'entity</value>
</resource>
...
</wsrp:localization>
