Hi all, <introduction type=long>
Believe it or not, even though I have already started looking at f-spot code and have already contributed one (trivial) patch, I had still not started to use f-spot. In particular, I had not started tagging my pictures yet. And I had decided that I would start tonight. But... as I was about to start tagging, I had a bit of a dilemma: which language should I use to name the tags? I'm fluent in both English and French, though more comfortable with French, what with it being my mother tongue. I use English on my website because I've got many friends who can't read French but sometimes wish I was writing the blog entries in French since, well, my French is better than my English is. </introduction> So, I was wondering which language to use for my tags when it dawned on me: why do I have to pick one? Why can't my tags by l10n'd? I should have the possibility to set both an English and a French name for each tag I create and f-spot would choose the right language for display depending on the current locale. Or even better, I would have the possibility to change the tag language dynamically, without restarting f-spot. What about you? Would like this kind of functionnality? Or am I a strange guy with strange needs? If there is interest, I might have a closer look at how this could be implemented. I've already had a quick look at the XMP spec (since I don't think it would be difficult to add support in f-spot, if it were not for interoperability) and to me it sounds like while the spec allows multilingual titles, it doesn't allow multilingual keywords. I can already picture multiple XMP keywords for a single f-spot tag, and all the headaches that would entail :( Anyway, sorry for the long email and please lemme know what you think about that crack I've been smoking.
