Multilanguage Attributes
Multiple Language Support 261
Multilanguage Attributes
Service or channel root elements use the following attributes to manage
multilanguage processing:
The baseLanguage Attribute
The baseLanguage attribute identifies the base language of the system or
application that generates outbound XML. For inbound transactions (input XML),
this attribute is not validated.
The languageEnabled Attribute
Output XML includes the attribute on every translatable column, as shown in the
following example:
<DESCRIPTION langenabled="1">Item 1 description</DESCRIPTION>
The transLanguage Attribute
The attribute identifies the language in which the values for applicable
multilanguage fields are specified.
If this attribute is missing or does not contain a value, all data is assumed to be in
the base language. If the transLanguage value cannot be interpreted, or if the
value does not identify a valid language, an error is returned to the service
requester.
