Hi, We are currently implementing microformats (hreview, hproduct) on our site and use the Google Rich Snippets Testing Tool to verify them. As recommend we only use content that is already available on the site and not hidden divs. Therefore, we have a problem with the actual <value> in our reviews. It's common in Germany to separate values by comma instead of the dot used in the US. This leads to a false normalization of the value by the testing tool:
rating value (normalized to 5.0 scale) = 2.0 value = 2,75 best = 1 worst = 6 The correct normalization would be: rating value (normalized to 5.0 scale) = 3.0 value = 2.75 best = 1 worst = 6 Is there any way to solve this problem without hiding content? I suppose that other non-English sites will face the problem when they use comma separated values. The same goes for the Date. A normal German date would be 19.11.2009 which is not recognized by the Testing Tool. Instead the American format is expected which leads to the same problem mentioned above. I just wanted to add that the testing tool is a great addition for verifying Microformats implementations. Not to mention Microformats themselves. I am really looking forward to all the great stuff that you can do when they are available everywhere. Thanks for your help and a happy new year Dennis _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
