Multi-Language Text / String

Validate against: http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#

Schema ID: http://schemas.digitallinguistics.io/MultiLangString-5.0.0.json

Description

A piece of text in multiple languages. This is typically used for analyses, database properties, and information in metalanguages rather than transcriptions or translations of data (for those, see the Transcription and Translation schemas). For example, the part of speech for a lexeme might be given as both English noun and Spanish nombre. Each key must be a valid IETF language tag for a language (see the IETF reference page), and the value for that key must be the string of text in that language. Note: MultiLangStrings do not have a type property.

If the text is in only one language and that language is English, it may be represented as a simple string instead of an object. Thus instead of gloss: { en: "M.SG" } you can simply write gloss: "M.SG".

This item must also validate against exactly one of the following schemas:

  • Type: object
