<h4><span class="header-section-number">13.0.2.1</span> Internationalization in EML 2.1.1</h4>
<p>EML 2.1.1 introduces internationalization capabilities that can be used in most
text-based elements. Version 2.1.1 remains backward-compatible with the previous
2.1.0 release. Authors can safely upgrade existing 2.1.0 documents to 2.1.1
without altering any content, though adding additional language translations is
encouraged.</p>
<p>By allowing mixed element content, nested translation elements can be included
without altering or introducing ambiguity with respect to EML element
cardinality. Translation elements use standard xml:lang attributes to specify
the language used for their content. Translation elements can be nested such
that child elements may inherit or override the language used by their
ancestors. The top-level EML element may include an xml:lang attribute which
will apply to every element in the document unless a child element includes a
different xml:lang attribute to override the document default.</p>
<p>Multi-lingual authors of EML should carefully consider their primary target
audience when deciding the default document language. Early adopters should be
aware search tools like Metacat will require custom configuration in order to
search arbitrarily nested translations.</p>
<p>The internationalization feature allows authors to place any language in <value>
tags nested within most EML text fields. The xml:lang attribute should be used
to explicitly declare the language used.</p>
<p>Additional documentation and examples are available in the EML specification.
The i18nNonEmptyStringType is used for simple text, while i18nString for more
structured text elements.</p>

<h3><span class="header-section-number">13.0.3</span> 2.1.0 (numbers refer to the corresponding Bugzilla bug id, not the GitHub #)</h3>
<p>This release addresses bugs which caused the schema to be invalid with
respect to the W3C specifications using modern validators
(e.g., <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv" class="uri">http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv</a>). Although the changes were minor,
one was incompatible with 2.0 releases, which necessitated the version
number “2.1”. In the 2.0 series, the content model for additionalMetadata
included an element <code><describes></code> whose cardinality was 0..many, alongside
<code><xs:any></code>. This construct is non-deterministic, and so a child element
was added to the additionalMetadata section to contain the <code><xs:any></code> content.
Additionally, several elements of txt:TypeText required additional
definition so that mixed content could be accommodated. These errors
were not apparent with validation software available in 2004-2005, but
were brought to light more recently. Several small changes were made to
the enumeration list and unitTypes for standard units and stmml descriptions
of customUnits. Two elements in the literature schema were allowed to be
optional so that articles-in-press could be described. The named type for
element gRing was changed to GRingType.</p>
<p>EML makes use of the STMML schema (stmml.xsd) for describing custom units
and describing its included list of standardUnits (unitList). The STMML
schema was also found to be non-deterministic, and the most reasonable fix
for this bug was not compatible with earlier versions. This error
was NOT related to elements used by EML (unitList or unitType). However,
given that authors of EML instance documents may have made use of other
parts of stmml.xsd, it was decided to the advance the namespace used for
stmml-related files to “stmml-1.1”, in keeping with the pattern of version
naming in EML. The stmml authors have been contacted.</p>
