[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Xml internationalization design
For us, I think your suggestion would lead to a very complex XML structure
as we are likely to have this kind of thing happening in numerous places,
hence would like to keep the XML inline.
If you want me to be more specific I can rephrase my question:
Given the following XML structure:
<metadata>
<title xml:lang="en">eeeeeeee</title>
<title xml:lang="pla">xxxxxx</title>
<description>yyyyyyy</description>
</metadata>
Will wrapping the <title/> tags in a <titles/> tag provide benefits? It is
how I would do something like this normally but I10n issues usually have an
established way of doing things and I wanted to find out what this
established way was.
I have already trawled through documents at www.w3.org/international and
couldn't find anything.
Should I be asking the mulberry tech XSLT mailing list instead?
