The current XML Mind concept template looks like:(note that there's no xml:lang attribute for the concept element)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE concept PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Concept//EN" "concept.dtd"> <concept id="???"> <title/> <conbody> ... We want it to look like: (note the xml:lang attribute for the concept element) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE concept PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Concept//EN" "concept.dtd"> <concept id="UsingURLRulesforSEO" xml:lang="en-us"> <title>Using URL Rules for SEO</title> <conbody> ... So that when it's returned from our translators, it looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE concept PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Concept//EN" "concept.dtd"> <concept id="UsingURLRulesforSEO" xml:lang="zh-CN"> <title>利用 URL 规则实现 SEO</title> <conbody> ...
