RE: Subject: Comments: Draft-many-ical-ski -language
Yes -
that is what we have always meant. In SKiCal such a property would sort
under WHAT. In iCal it either has to fitted in to SUMMARY with some some
sort of machine understandable delimitation - such as a property parameter or
added as a property.
In the
first alternative there is some questions of ambiguity, since there already
exists a property parameter for the lang of the wording of
the summary. Not impossible though;
We
call these problems the telescoping problems, since there can evolve a whole
chain of generations. In Dublin Core the following problem can
arise.
a
English description of a book written in French about the Italian
language. Luckily calendars need not be so
complicated:-)

Greg:
I want to
double check something here. Are you asking that besides the LANG=
propery parameter that describes the properties language, you want an overall
language indicator as well??

Confusion - yes our proposal defines a
way to show the presentation language
for the event. That is what we
are talking about. Why is this property
not included in 2445?
For European companies with many languages being
spoken within
the firm, this is a valuable piece of information.
