text_l10n, text_l10n_oneline

The types text_l10n and text_l10n_oneline are designed to store localized values. The format is a JSON object consisting of the language as key and the text as value.

API

Localized text looks like this send and received over the API.

{
  "title_loca": {
    "de-DE": "German",
    "en-US": "English"
  }
}

The above example set the German value German and English value English for column title_loca.

The API is not checking the passed language. So, load and save of an unconfigured database language is supported.

Index

Indexing is done the same way text format is indexed. Only enabled database languages are mapped into the index, other languages are ignored. After changing the settings for the database languages a reindex is required.

Sorting

Sorting is performed using a collate string produced by the Go library collate. The language is parsed as BCP 47 string and passed to the library. Some special replacement is done:

'ʾ': '@', //     02BE    Hamza (vorne offen) @ sorts this before A
'ʿ': '@', //     02BF    Ayn (hinten offen) @ sorts this before A

Export

XML exported data looks like this:

<title_loca type="text_l10n" column-api-id="81">
  <de-DE>German</de-DE>
  <en-US>English</en-US>
</title_loca>

The example shows the XML snippet for a column title_loca with the type text_l10n.

In CSV the values are exported like this:

title_loca.de-DE	title_loca.en-US
German	English

For each language exported a suffix .<code> is added to the column name.
