[Project Proposal]: Unicode attributes and localized metadata

[ItaloBorrelli]

Project Description

Include the ability to provide localized metadata in ERDDAP.

Expected Outcomes

As per @turnbullerin:

[localize] the content of variables and attributes. This would generally work by introducing a suffix for each locale that is used to distinguish it from the content in the "default" locale. For example, providing an English and French title or both English and French descriptions of current weather conditions. This is the focus of what I've been working on with the CF folks and does not require ERDDAP to expand its allowed character set. It could be storing it in attributes named title_en and title_fr for title or variables named weather_en and weather_fr. It is NOT part of [this topic] that the names themselves be localized, only the content.
