[data-shapes] Internationalization review of SHACL 1.2 Core (#639)

nicholascar has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/data-shapes:

== Internationalization review of SHACL 1.2 Core ==
If the spec or its implementation...

* ... contains any natural language text that will be read by a human (this includes error messages or other UI text, JSON strings, etc, etc),
    * the Specification itself is published only in English
    * the Core specification's vocabulary can be used to indicate text (literal) values which, as of RDF 1.2, may indicate both language and text direct
    * users of this Specification are thus able to formulate error messages etc. that support different/multiple languages and text directions
* ... allows content authors to produce typographically appealing text, either in its own right, or in association with graphics.
    * N/A - this is a data specification
* ... allows the user to point into text, creates text fragments, concatenates text, allows the user to select or step through text (using a cursor or other methods), etc.
    * N/A - not supported
* ... allows searching or matching of text, including syntax and identifiers
    * N/A - text search not supported
* ... sorts text
    * N/A
* ... captures user input
    * N/A - does not allow user input
* ... deals with time in any way that will be read by humans and/or crosses time zone boundaries
    * N/A - does not deal with time directly. Where timing information may be conveyed in implementations, stadard RDF is to be used which offers all the time options
* ... allows any character encoding other than UTF-8
    * The RDF vocabulary is UTF-8
* ... defines markup
    * No markup defined
* ... deals with names, addresses, time & date formats, etc
    * N/A - name handing in (RDF) data is a user concern. This Specification does not impact that
* ... describes a format or data that is likely to need localisation
    * N/A - not a presentation specification
* ... makes any reference to or relies on any cultural norms
    * SHACL does not present depictions of people or gestures or anything to do with gender roles etc. A data specification only
