[GeoNetwork-devel] French documentation code

GeoNetwork GeoNetwork Developer
1

I was recently compiling the docs so that the help link would work.

When it came to do the French I noticed the the 3 char code seems to differ
from the rest of the geonetwork site which mostly seems to be using FRE but
the docs uses FRA.

In order to get the french help to work I had to add the following to
web/pom.xml

<resource>
     <directory>../docs/fra/users/build/html</directory>
      <targetPath>docs/fra/users</targetPath>
</resource>

and I had to fix banner.xsl as it was looking for "fr" instead of "fre"

          <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="/root/gui/language='fre'">
               <xsl:value-of select="/root/gui/strings/help"/>
<{/root/gui/url}/docs/fra/users>
            </xsl:when>

Just wondering, if changing folder from fra to fre will cause any issues.

Francois - any objections?

True, the doc use 3 letters code since a long time.

In order to get the french help to work I had to add the following to
web/pom.xml

../docs/fra/users/build/html docs/fra/users

and I had to fix banner.xsl as it was looking for “fr” instead of “fre”

xsl:choose
<xsl:when test=“/root/gui/language=‘fre’”>
<xsl:value-of select=“/root/gui/strings/help”/>
<{/root/gui/url}/docs/fra/users>
</xsl:when>

Just wondering, if changing folder from fra to fre will cause any issues.

Francois - any objections?

The main issue I see is that link to the public website will fail.
http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/trunk/fra/users/index.html

but I’ve no objection to make the language codes more homogeneous.

Cheers.

Francois

Francois,

After further research I think we should go the other way around. We should
be changing FRE to FRA.

Here are the reasons.
1 - iso639-3 uses FRA
    http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=639_3&letter=f

2 - According to Wikipedia - iso639-2
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-2) contains ISO 639-2/T and ISO
639-2/B. "In general the T codes are favored; ISO 639-3 uses ISO 639-2/T."
ISO 639-2/T uses the "FRA"

What are your thought?

ISO 639-2/T uses the “FRA”

What are your thought?

We’re using “fre” in GeoNetwork because mainly of the INSPIRE Directive in Europe which define:
"Codelist (See ISO/TS 19139) based on alpha-3 codes of

ISO 639-2. Use only three-letter codes from in ISO 639-
2/B (bibliographic codes),"

(cf. “INSPIRE Metadata Implementing Rules”)

ISO19115 defines “LanguageCode <> (ISO 639-2 3-alphabetic digits code)” and does not mentionned bilbiographic and terminological code.

Cheers.
Francois
