Hi Jeen,
yes that would make sense. I have no easy immediate solution for you.
My first attempt was to try to use SPIN constructors for that, in
which case you could derive the new label from the local name.
Unfortunately, I don't think we have a built-in function to make this
string transformation, e.g. so that "hasCustomer" becomes "has
customer". I will try to add this for the next release. Meanwhile, you
could theoretically implement this function yourself, using JavaScript
and SPINx. The problem here would be that such SPIN constructors would
need to be stored in the model, and therefore would make it difficult
to set up a system in which international co-workers use different
default languages.
A more convenient approach would be if the string templates in the
create dialogs would indeed allow something like {...@en} as you suggest,
and this could be added. Or another mechanism would be to have a
global default setting so that all new values for selected properties
(rdfs:label and rdfs:comment for example) would get a language tag.
This however looks like a more difficult change, because there are
multiple places in which such literals are created.
