Ontoportal Multilingualism support #17

Closed syphax-bouazzouni closed 6 months ago

syphax-bouazzouni commented 1 year ago

Context

In this current first semester of 2023, we plan for our Agroportal team, to work in the Multilingualism in Agroportal. For now, it will be mostly an intern @haddadzineddine and me (@syphax-bouazzouni) that will work on it, for the next 6 months. But we are open if people want to collaborate or work with us on it in parallel.

Anyway we will be happy to catch up and implement (if possible) your requirements,

Thanks for opening this Syphax! I see two separate fields for improvement in multilingual support:

1. Ontology Display

Ideally, I would like to have ontologies displayed by default in the language that the author prefers. Then, if it contains labels in other languages, a user could switch the taxonomy displayed on the left-hand side to another language. Also the properties (if they have labels in other languages) on the right-hand side could be changed together with the taxonomic view.

If the ontology author does not specify a preferred language of display, the default should be the language chosen by the portal administration. So, English in our case, French for SIFR, Chinese for MedPortal, etc.

If the default language of the portal cannot be respected by the ontology because all its labels are in another language and the author has not specified a preferred language for display, then the first parsed skos:prefLabel / rdfs:label could be the one displayed.

2. Search for terms ("Jump To")

I'd like the search functionality right above the taxonomic view of the ontology to work with all labels, therefore in all languages present in the ontology. This is what currently happens in the Search Tool, it works with all labels.

How do these suggestions sound?
