What is I18n?
I18n is the contraction used to mean “internationalization”, because there are 18 letters missing. I18n means the features available to allow documents in different languages, perhaps even within the same document. QAML 2.0 is highly internationalized, following WWW best practise. (One of QAML 2.0’s authors is a member of the World Wide Web Consortium’s I18n Interest Group, and proposed most of the i18n features of XML.) It currently does not have support for bi-directional text; this can be added on request. QAML 2.0 documents can use any standard character encoding, and all elements can have an attribute xml:lang to give the language being used.
