Discussion of use cases and spec

All

• Cory very helpfully added a behavior scenario to the use case document for RTL functionality. This wasn’t initially part of the scope of the work so the addition was very well received and this gets us ahead of the game on that particular requirement. The ticket for that functionality is at ANW-1144: Provide better support for right-to-left (RTL) scripts, ideally bi-directional textAwaiting More Information The behavior scenario is linked above.

• There is concern that certain sub-records like extents and dates, which are repeatable fields that impact other application functionality, may be more complex than other functions. For now, the team will move forward knowing this may be a complication but for now the primary focus is on how multi-lingual description will look and feel in the PUI/SUI.

• One thing to keep in mind is that what we are talking about is not repeating fields in the application but representing the same field in multiple languages. The fields will not be “repeated,” just represented different ways.

• One major piece of functionality to discuss is how will a user select their preferred language.
