Localized strings
Within a document type definition file, the
<title>
and
<description>
subtags specify the
display title and description for the document type. You can use the
MMString:loadstring
directive in the subtags as a placeholder for providing localized strings for the two subtags.
This process is similar to server-side scripting where you specify a particular string to use in
your page by using a string identifier as a placeholder. For the placeholder, you can use a
special tag or you can specify a tag attribute whose value is replaced.
To provide localized strings, perform the following steps:
1. Place the following statement at the beginning of the document type definition file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2. Declare the
MMString
name space in the
<documenttypes>
tag:
<documenttypes
xmlns:MMString="http://www.macromedia.com/schemes/data/string/">
3.
At the location in the document type definition file where you want to provide a localized
string, use the
MMString:loadstring
directive to define a placeholder for the localized
string. You can specify this placeholder in one of the following ways:
