3.12.1.3 Localization attribute group
The localization attribute group defines a set of common attributes related to translation and localization. These attributes are available on most DITA elements.
-
@translate - Indicates whether the content of the element should be translated or not. Allowable values are yes, no, and -dita-use-conref-target. See Element-by-element recommendations for translators: All-inclusive edition for suggested processing defaults for each element.
-
@xml:lang -
Specifies
the language of the element content. The
@xml:langattribute and its values are described in the XML Recommendation at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-lang-tag. Allowable values are language tokens or the null string. -
@dir - Specifies the directionality of text: left-to-right (ltr, the processing default) or right-to-left (rtl). The value lro indicates an override of normal bidi text presentation, forcing the element into left-to-right mode; rlo overrides normal rules to force right-to-left presentation. Allowable values are ltr, rtl, lro, rlo, and -dita-use-conref-target. See The dir attribute for more information.
