Clearly, language independant components to the document should be defined in external (shared) SGML fragments. >> If you only want one of them to appear in the output, that would >> require a little (er, maybe a lot) of customization. > It looks like the DTD is the first thing to be changed for > implementing this. What we have started doing is to use a little scheme script to walk the ESIS output of sp. Given a knowledge of entities which are structural and language independant, and a file, it outputs that structure (still needs lots of work). That gives us a template for translators to work on. Of course, the ESIS (and the grove) doesn't have some rather crucial language independant stuff such as the document preample, but we figure we'll just postprocess a bit to get that. I work a lot with the Debian Documentation Project, and multi-linguistic SGML documents are very important to us. There are many more issues, i.e., keeping different translation in sync (which should be not so challenging given an assumption that we are using CVS) and proper output of HTML files for Apache's language negotiation features. I'd be interested who if anyone out there has working code to do these kind of things. -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
