Localized spec schemas

The localized schema is a transformation of the internal schema that holds elements that require national language support (NLS).

The elements contained by the localized schema must be a type that inherits directly or indirectly from the localizedString complex type. The localizedString complex type is defined by the internal schema for specs, which also contains the associated type and namespace definitions needed to create a complete document. The localized schema allows the validation of separate XML documents containing translated elements for instances of a spec. See Defining locale-sensitive data types and code table data types in the internal schema for more information on the localizedString complex type.

Just like the internal and external spec schemas, you can create the localized spec schema manually, or you can use the InfoSphere MDM Workbench to generate it for you automatically.

The localized schema name must be in the form <specName>.localized.xsd.
