Internationalization/Localization

[ahouseholder]

Not sure what the current preferred term is, but drawing on @sei-vsarvepalli's comment on #119:

JSON format allows for UTF-8 representation of each of "keys" and "values" in both the Provision and Computed schema. So, what should happen if language is say Japanese in UTF-8, do they pick equivalent English letters? Is SSVC vector only is limited to POSIX locale - basically US-ASCII chars only? Maybe a short note of this would be good to clarify how short notation handles languages.

I think the task is generally to address i18n issues in the JSON and vector notations, but it's likely that this may need to be broken up into subtasks. This is probably a post-SSVCv2 item.

I prepared a Japanese version of Deployer.json (v2.1.0).
However, I need to set an alphabetic character (Key) as the first character of the next label. "label": "P(Priority in Japanese)" and "label": "H(Human Impact in Japanese)". If the first character is not the alphabetic character(key), the SSVC vector string description of SSVC-calc will not be displayed properly.
In case of "label": "W(Human Impact in Japanese)" and "label": "Z(Priority in Japanese)", SSVC vector string description is SSVCv2/E:N/X:C/A:N/S:A/M:C/W:M/Z:S.

Hello @Masato20240324

Is this a question or are you just commenting on Internationalization of SSVC JSON file?

[sei-vsarvepalli]

I see your JSON file does not have keys for some of the decision points and their child elements. See if the enclosed JSON file looks more like what you want so you can have a vector string that looks like US-ASCII

The comment is that SSVC-calc can handle Japanese. I use it when introducing SSVC.

Thank you.

Also, please add keys in Deployer.json.

128 "label": "Human Impact",
129 "decision_type": "complex",
"key": "H",
130 "children": [

329 "label": "Priority",
"key": "P"
330 } ],

sure thing - thanks.
