Add Role class?

[jpmckinney]

Multilingual support may justify a Role class (like in ORG). Maintaining translations on each Post and Membership would be too great a burden; it would be easier to have a Role class with a translatable name field.

No one has mentioned this as being an issue. Closing for now.

Is alternate name + note a valid approach for this one?

[jpmckinney]

Translations are not alternate names, but the same names in different languages.

[tmtmtmtm]

I think I misunderstood the original suggestion here, then. I read it as being an approach when someone didn't want the full overhead of doing it 'properly', and was suggesting that simply adding alternate names, with a note of language code, could be a quick'n'dirty substitute.

Except we don't have an "alternate roles" property in Popolo :)

[tmtmtmtm]

Ah, yes :)
