Re: Translations for schema.org?

Thx for commenting on this!

Today, I had a closer look at the licence situation of Simplified
Technical English and its rooting with logic, which turned out to be
basically a non-rooting. :)

So, a better candidate would be Attempto Controlled English, developed
at the University of Zurich since 1995,

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempto_Controlled_English

It has the big plus that it is formally well rooted. Thus it should be
relativly straightforward to derive "raw" specification documents in
natural language from the formal specification of Schema.org, once the
vocabulary is set up (mainly nouns and verbs). The translation effort
could then focus on keeping vocabularies for other natural languages up
to date.

I'm willing to put resources into this, but I will not be free before
early 2022. (Just for the record, I work with Common Lisp rather than
Python.)
