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>
