   Re: [xml-dev] Xml internationalization design

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

If your question is going to require xslt at some point, yes, ask the
mulberrytech list, but you haven't asked anything yet.

I would want to put things in a titles element as well, but that's
just how I like to structure things, if you want to process things out
dependent on language you can do it just as well with that structure
as you can with having the title elements contained within a titles
element.

Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
