[oXygen-user] Schematron for Multi-Lingual Schemas?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Octavian Nadolu)]

Hello Tony,

Unfortunately we do not support multiple languages for the Schematron 
messages. We have an issue on our issue tracker regarding this problem 
and I will increase it's priority. The Schematron messages are generated 
at validation and we need to collect only the diagnostics with the 
xml:lang equal with the one form the application. Now all the messages 
are collected, the xml:lang attribute is ignored.

If you make multiple single language Schematron files, maybe you can 
create for each one a validation scenario and depending on the language 
use the specific validation scenario. But you will need to associate the 
scenario manually. Or you can create different projects and save the 
validation scenario and the association in the project, and when you 
will change the project you will have the specific validation.

Other workaround is to use the "phase" mechanism. You can create a 
Schematron with multiple phases, a phase for each language. At 
validation oXygen will present a dialog with the phases and you can 
select the one you want depending on the language.

I added an issue also for the annotations, to support multiple 
languages. Here is the same problem we collect all the annotations 
without looking at the lang attribute.

Best Regards,
Octavian
