Globalizing DITA content
The DITA standard supports content that is written in or translated to any language. In general, the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) passes content through to the output format unchanged. The DITA-OT uses the values for the @xml:lang, @translate, and @dir attributes that are set in the source content to provides globalization support.
- Globalization support offered by the DITA-OT The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) offers globalization support in the following areas: Generated text, index sorting, and bi-directional text.
- Supported languages: HTML-based transformations
The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) supports over 50 languages and language variants for the HTML-based transformations, for example, Eclipse Help, HTML Help, and TocJS. - Supported languages: PDF transformations
The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) supports a smaller set of languages for the PDF (pdf2) transformation. This transformation was donated to the DITA-OT project after the project inception, and it uses a different and larger set of generated text than the HTML-based transformations.
