for example ,when i tried to explain "description" in this file moAlargeop12.xml. i was wondering how i could explain "∫" in korean... All the examples in the MathML specification use the named entity form (like & int;) how would they be explained if that was translated? Use of the entity is quite costly, it means that the document has to include a reference to the MathML DTD which is rather large and can slow down downloading and displaying of documents over the web.Many english speaking users prefer to use the entities despite these costs as they can remember that & int; is short for "integral". I suspect that there is less benefit if English is not your first language. So in your translation you have a choice, just don't use & int; at all and replace it by the numeric character reference, or document it as being an entity name defined in the MathML DTD. If you want to get rid of all of the & int; references then all you need do is replace each "source code2 section of teh html file by the actual source code of the test in the file with extension .mml as they do not have these entity names. David What do you think i'd better to translate this one first? http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-MathML2-20030411/mathml-html.zip that's the whole mathml spec, Translating all of that would be a big job I think! I am sure that Korean readers would appreciate that if you did that, but I was not suggesting that. I just meant that if you get that zip file and unpack it you will find a glyphs directory full of png files for the character images that you can use with your local copy of the test suite so the img links to > characters/glyphs/020/U02035.png will work.
