Subject: Fwd: [odf-devel] ODF & ITS
Hello all, Just thought I'd forward this email. ITS is the Internationalization Tag Set. For easing the translation process of xml based documents. Implementations for DocBook, XHTML and ODF are supposed to be considered. http://www.w3.org/International/its/ My understanding is that they want to add attributes like its:translate="yes". Should we talk to them? Is this relevant to the metadata SC? Best, Daniel. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [odf-devel] ODF & ITS Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2006 18:24:19 +0900 From: JC Helary <jch.helary@free.fr> To: odf-devel@opendocumentfellowship.org I just left the Open Source Conference in Tokyo and I had the time to talk for a few minutes with Felix Sasaki of W3C who told be that they are planning to release a final draft (?) of ITS in May and thus they were looking for people who'd comment on the proposal. Although I don't have any specific idea of how ITS could be implemented in ODF I just tried a few things in the Shinkansen back home, and even though that my look like obvious to a number of you, it was not for me until 5 minutes ago :) My understanding is: if/when ITS is implemented in ODF, it will take the form of special attributes inside the xml tags that define text parts. What I've done today is a "prototype" (hum hum...) of what I imagine ITS would look line in ODF. Basically I created 4 styles. Two for block info, two for inline info, each pair having a "translate" and "donttranslate" version. So practicaly, I have the following dummy styled code in content.xml: <text:p text:style-name="its_translate_block">Wewew</text:p> <text:p text:style-name="its_donttranslate_block">wewew</text:p> <text:p text:style-name="its_translate_block">w <text:span text:style-name="its_donttranslate_inline">ew</text:span> ew</text:p> <text:p text:style-name="its_donttranslate_block">w <text:span text:style-name="its_translate_inline">ew</text:span> ew</text:p> I have 2 questions here: 1) is this what ODF developers considers a possible implementation ? 2) if not what is the current state of affairs ?
