[#248] Support for loading-time L10n of metadata names and descriptions based on Context's locale. #249

Open mseaton opened 1 year ago

Note, if this approach is approved, then there are likely additional changes to expand this beyond the encounter type domain, by changing other metadata loaders to extend the BaseMetadataLineProcessor rather than the BaseLineProcessor and then update the way the set the name and description properties.

For now, this works and is tested against the EncounterType domain.

We'll also need to update the README and Release Notes. I can add that in if this is agreed on as a general approach. I expect there may be alternative ideas for what the constant is named (currently "_translate_", but I assume others may have better ideas here).

If that's right then this really a metadata regionalization/localization feature so that the database looks "local" to consumers in country. Then maybe, rather than the _translate_ directive, we could use _localize_ (or _L10n_)?

Sure, we can have this named whatever we want. I'll take direction from you on this, and make it so.
