Stream: IG creation
Topic: Language & translation extension
Pétur Valdimarsson (Sep 02 2019 at 16:06):
Hi there! Long time reader, first time writer.
I have a case where I need to output an IG in different languages, so I've started looking at implementing the functionality described under https://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=IG_Publisher_Documentation#Language_Support in the IG publisher tool.
So far I've only done a quick poc for utilizing translation extensions, and before going onward I'm curious about a couple of things.
I see that a lot of the pieces of the puzzle are there just waiting to be put to use. Has progress been made here that has not been pushed to the github repository?
Is there an idea of how the format for languages.json should look? Both in structure, and how placeholders for inserted values will look?
While I don't oppose using a json file for language strings/translations, I'm curious if there is a firm reason for doing so, as compared to using Java resource bundles.

It's certainly not finished business - no one has been pushing for it to be done, as no one is currently publishing multi-language guides, and I'm currently only doing what has to be done
I don't understand how a java resource bundle would be an appropriate choice

Having had a little time to gather my thoughts and code, I pushed a PR to the IG-publisher project containing my handling of the publisher snippets. Hope it's of some use. https://github.com/HL7/fhir-ig-publisher/pull/63

I'll have a look. I'm not sure that it's the approach I want long term

Out of interest, have you decided on what approach you want long term? In case I can be of any help.

it's on the go slow at the moment - I'm fixing bugs in the IG publisher but otherwise I'm working on virus response
