[This is a continuation of one part of the http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-core/2010JanMar/0043.html thread.] It addresses the comment: [[ 7.16. The span Element http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#the-span-element-and-its-attributes [2] I think the example could be improved by having something inside the span with punctuation (eg. exclamation mark) or such, and maybe the description should be in English - otherwise you'd probably want to put the dir on the widget tag and have English in the span. Should I try to find another example ? ]] at http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0907-widgets-pc/ Here's my proposed example (thanks to Aharon Lanin for helping with the Hebrew). I made up something that might appear in a Hebrew widget, rather than an English one, since it's a little more realistic. <widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xml:lang="he" dir="rtl"> <name xml:lang="en">GPS Weather!</name> <description יישומון ה-<span dir="rtl" xml:lang="en">GPS Weather!</span> מאפשר לך לבדוק את מזג האוויר בכל נקודת GPS ברחבי העולם. </description> </widget> Here's a version ready to drop into HTML (I suggest you copy it as a unit, to avoid problems with the bidirectional text.) <widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xml:lang="he" dir="rtl"> <name xml:lang="en">GPS Weather!</name> <description יישומון ה-<span dir="rtl" xml:lang="en">GPS Weather!</span> מאפשר לך לבדוק את מזג האוויר בכל נקודת GPS ברחבי העולם. </description> </widget> Cheers, RI PS: This email has been sent as UTF-8. ============ Richard Ishida Internationalization Lead W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) http://www.w3.org/International/ http://rishida.net/
