Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,

I'm gonna talk my case out to see if somebody can help me. First of all I'm using Oxygen 11 so I don´t know if this is possible using this version.

I have a Dita file with information y 2 languages (english and spanish)and what I'm trying to do is to generate an output with just one language information. The thing is that I don't know how to manage this case, perhaps I can create 2 concepts (one for each language) and then omit one concept in the transformation... or maybe is there other way..

Thanks!

Best Regards.

Hi Raul,

Oxygen uses the DITA Open Toolkit to publish DITA content to various output formats.

Usually when having different paragraphs in different languages you have the following alternatives:

1) Have separate topics for each language.

2) Mark each paragraph with the xml:lang value corresponding the the specific language. This will instruct the DITA OT to treat content in those paragraph according to the specified language:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS ... llang.html

But:

The DITA OT has filtering capabilities but only for specific attributes:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/ar ... dproc.html

and xml:lang is not one of them. So you cannot filter based on the value of an xml:lang attribute but you can filter output based on the value of the audience attribute for example.
So on each paragraph you can set also the audience attribute to a specific value.

This is a link to a forum topic discussing in detail filtering content using the DITA OT:
