RE: [wsrp-wsia] [I#140] Internationalization of property and enti tydescriptions

How about something a bit more simple, but still 
XML-like?

 

<model>
   <propertydescription name="p1" 
type="xsd:string">

        <label 
xml:lang="en">Property 1</label>

      <label 
xml:lang="fr">Propriete 
1</label>

        <hint 
xml:lang="en">this is a few sentences for some tooltip</hint>

        <hint 
xml:lang="fr">Ceci n'est pas une 
pipe</hint>

    
</propertyDescription>

   ...
</model>

 

I would propose this as a solution to all WSIA/WSRP localized 
strings.

  this new issue comes with a tentative resolution, outlined

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>
