Hello everyone,
Are recommendations / best practices for setting up multilingual feeds?
I am working on a website which has a "main" news feed in English; all
entries are to be translated into a few other languages. The entries
are stored in an eXist instance; there are as many feeds as languages.
I have been going through the Atom Syndication specs, and I can see
that there a few "tools" available, such as @hreflang +
@rel="alternate" in an atom:entry.
But I am still wondering about a few things. Let's say I have a
fictitious atom:entry ENTRY. It is published first in english,
ENTRY_EN: it has an atom:id, atom:published (the permalink is added
when the feed is requested, and points to the actual URI of the
website's news section), and other required elements. The atom:id and
atom:published must be shared by ENTRY_EN and the translated entries
(if I understood things properly), since they are really alternate
versions of the same entry ENTRY, right?
I hope this was clear.
Thanks!
Alexis Georges
