Hi Vincent (and list),
Yesterday after your presentation and during the JATS-Con social (or
happy) hour I complained that if you have a multiple-language document
in which you choose to tag your content with block-level items and their
translations side-by-side, you can't have translations for section titles.
I was thinking of someone who followed the "content items in two or more
languages" approach
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK579699/#lizzi-content-items-in-two-or-more-languages)
by adding a translation for each figure, table-wrap, p etc. element that
is allowed within a section, side by side.
While you can have multiple figures, tables, paragraphs etc. in a row,
you can't provide translation elements for elements that are allowed
exactly once in a section, in particular, for the title element.
But there's a workaround: You can have the title translations as inline
content in the title element, like so:
<sec id="sec1">
<title><named-content content-type="title-content"
lang-group="sec1-content" xml:lang="en">English Title</named-content>
<named-content content-type="title-content"
lang-group="sec1-content" xml:lang="fr">Titre franC'ais</named-content>
<named-content content-type="title-content"
lang-group="sec1-content" xml:lang="de">Deutscher
Titel</named-content></title>
<p lang-group="sec1-p1" xml:lang="en">Paragraph</p>
<p lang-group="sec1-p1" xml:lang="fr">Paragraphe</p>
<p lang-group="sec1-p1" xml:lang="de">Absatz</p>
</sec>
So I think it's feasible by and large to pursue a block-level
translation approach, with minor sacrifices where you need to process
inline translations.
(Note: I'm not advocating such an approach, but it came up occasionally
when discussing how to tag multilingual content with customers.)
