Adding an Attribute Subtype
You can add three different kinds of subtypes to attributes contained within an
entry: language, binary, and pronunciation.
Language Subtype
Sometimes a user's name can be more accurately represented in characters of a
language other than the default language. For example, Noriko's name is Japanese,
and she prefers that her name be represented by Japanese characters when
possible. You can select Japanese as a language subtype for the
givenname
attribute
so that other users can search for her Japanese name.
If you specify a language subtype for an attribute, the subtype is added to the
attribute name as follows:
attribute
;lang-
subtype
Where attribute is the attribute you are adding to the entry and subtype is the two
character abbreviation for the language. See Table D-2 on page 543 for a list of
supported language subtypes. For example:
givenname;lang-ja
