==Overview==

The '''Internationalization Tag set (ITS)''' is a W3C recommendation that defines a set of elements and attributes you can use to specify different internationalization- and localization-related aspects of your XML document, for instance: ITS defines what attribute values are translatable, what element content should be protected, what element should be treated as a nested sub-flow of text, and much more.

* The ITS 1.0 specification is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/its/
* The ITS 2.0 specification is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/its20/

=== Default Rules ===

By default the filter process the XML documents based on the '''ITS defaults'''. That is:

* the content of all elements is translatable,
* and none of the values of the attribute translatable.

To modify this behavior you need to associate the document with ITS rules. This can be done different ways:

* By including global and local rules inside the document.
* By including inside the document a link to external global rules.
* By associating the document with a parameters file when running the filter. The parameter file being a set of external ITS global rules.

When processing a document, the filter...

# Assumes that all element content is translatable, and none of the attribute values are translatable.
# Applies the global rules found in the (optional) parameters file associated with the input document.
# Applies the global rules found in the document.
# And finally, applies the local rules within the document.

=== Example ===

For example, assuming that <code>ITSForDoc.xml</code> is the ITS file associated with the input file <code>Document.xml</code>, the translatable text is listed below.

<code>ITSForDoc.xml</code>:

<nowiki><its:rules xmlns:its="http://www.w3.org/2005/11/its" version="1.0"></nowiki>
<its:translateRule selector="//head" translate="no"/>
<its:withinTextRule selector="//b|//code|//img" withinText="yes"/>
</its:rules>

<code>Document.xml</code>:

<doc>
<head>
<update>2009-03-21</update>
<author>Mirabelle McIntosh</author>
</head>
<body>
Paragraph with <img ref="eg.png"/> and bolded text.
Paragraph with <code>data codes</code> and text.
</body>
</doc>

The resulting text units are (with the inline codes in XLIFF 1.2 notation):

1: "Paragraph with <x id='1'> and <g id='2'>bolded text</g>."
2: "Paragraph with <g id='1'><x id='2'/></g> and text."

=== Validation ===

The Relaxed project includes [http://relaxed.vse.cz/relaxed/validate?group=ITS an online validator for ITS].

Relaxed is an [http://sourceforge.net/projects/relaxed/ open-source project hosted on SourceForge]

=== Extensions ===

Several extensions have been defined by the ITS Interest Group. There are listed in the [http://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/IssuesAndProposedFeatures Issues and Proposed Features] section of the Interest Group wiki.

The extension namespace is http://www.w3.org/2008/12/its-extensions

==ITS in the Okapi Framework==

The Okapi Framework uses ITS in several places. For example:

* The [[XML Filter]] implements most of ITS data categories for XML documents.
* The [[HTML5-ITS Filter]] implements most of ITS data categories for HTML5 documents.
* Several pre-defined [[Filters|filter configurations]] are ITS files.
* The version 2.0 of ITS has been implemented in Okapi as one of the deliverables of the MultilingualWeb-LT project funded by the European Commission.
