<YvesS> [24]http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0504ReqCulturalAspects
[24] http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0504ReqCulturalAspects
Yves: from masaki "cultural aspect"
masaki: made some changes
changed country name
scribe: it was yugoslavia
... put something like a standard date format into it
... changed Japanese example
Yves: one comment on that
... would the h(???) be better
zh
RI: you can specify that with the current system
will be much better with rfc 3066bis
RI: the chinese example states a problem, but doesn't say what the req
is to solve the problem
... what do we need? xml:lang? tags? another mechanism?
... we need to specify that
masaki: recently there is lot's of specs on locale and country codes
... do we need more? is there enough with the current system?
... e.g. the zh case already has a solution
RI: I think there is now a code for swiss german
masaki: how about aserbadjian?
... locale for aserbadjian
RI: there is still work on that being done
... e.g. by the core wg.
... still a potential issue
... but we should say: why is it an issue, not in terms of the
solution
... maybe met by the core work
masaki: if it is discussed in core, i could point to the core group
ri: hasen't been discussed yet.
yves: we need additional informaion on locale, that's in the summary.
Do we need more text e.g. in the challenges section?
ri: concept of representing orthography will be representable very
soon
... with rfc 3066bis other problems will go away as well
... all what is said in the summary will be possible to be managed
with rfc 3066bis
... the question is: are we talking about xml:lang values
... or are we talking about other attributes related to locale etc.?
masaki: I see the point
yves: you want to talk about dates, calenders etc.?
ri: if we need to specify locale for a date format
... that's something different
... so we have to say what we will focus on
yves: we talk about xml:lang in another req
masaki: this is an additional on top of it
... there should be more than xml:lang
... do we have other examples?
... somebody said "a date format could solve the req"
... you want to know whether Japanese uses wareki or western style
time
i.e. date format
ri: I can see the scenario
... it's the other stuff in the req we have problems with
yves: should we remove the two examples which don't fit
<r12a> FAQ by Addison (in preparation) that has some bearing here:
[25]http://esw.w3.org/topic/geoFAQxmllang
[25] http://esw.w3.org/topic/geoFAQxmllang
felix: would be hard to have a fixed set of values for a @context
attribute
ri: who would use the attribute?
masaki: it would be used in the target language
... there is only one source
... as you translate, it could be translated in two different ways
... e.g. in the case of desu / masu
... if you reuse the content, you need information about the context /
e.g. the writing style
... this is always about target languages
... example: italian users like different styles for user interfaces
ri: do we have an attribute in the english source or in the target
side?
masaki: context could be specified in the english side, writing style
at the target side (Japanese)
ri: how would the attribute be used?
masaki: for a cms, you have 1000 units of Japanese and english
... you might wonder if they are consistent with respect to writing
style (in the target language)
... content builder would use this information
yves: or translation memory systems?
... at some point the source becomes the target
ri: could you rephrase the requirement as you just explained it?
masaki: you're right.
... can change the requirements to writing styles
... will change the title to something about writing styles
ri: locale is something we should continue thinking about
masaki: will keep that in my mind
f2f meeting
yves: started a page for the meeting
... one question was the hotel
would a hotel close to antibe better or not?
ri: I would prefer to stay in antibe, if we could get a car.

[26] http://www.w3.org/International/its/ftf-200509-Sophia.html
