Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 75616
Support for ITS (Internationalization Tag Set)
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:00:01 UTC
The Internationalization tag Set 1.0 is a soon-to-be recommendation of the W3C. It describes a set of elements and attributes designed for supporting internationaliation and localization features. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/its/ Is there a possibility to have ITS integrated into OpenOffice? OO being a content authoring tools, the implementation would be quite simple: Basically it would be a matter of allowing the ITS markup to be set and preserved in the OO files. (See "Conformance Type 1: ITS Markup Declarations" http://www.w3.org/TR/its/#conformance-product-schema) Example of implementation: A selection of words set with <text:span its:translate="no"> would flag the selection as non translatable. ITS is modular and allow a pick-and-choose appraoch where OO could implement only some of the ITS data categories. Cheers, -yves
I currently don't see an advantage in the short term as all resource file types + extractor/merger have to be heavy modified to support this
