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.
