I18n Translation and filter response to language

[johannes-darms]

As an application developer
In order to provide a translated version of my application
I want to pass a language code to components so that a) the user interface is displayed in that language and b) the terminology concept labels and properties are filtered to that language.

requirement b resolved by update to OLS4

New feature in OLS4 is a language tag, which is per default lang=en. The language depends on the terminology metadata and the indexing process! Whether the new OLS4 feature meets your needs remains to be evaluated. (-> TS4NFDI + NFDI4Health Meeting)

The MeSH terminology in the OLS3 backend system has English and German synonyms, as this was requested some time ago.

Example OLS3 response: https://ols3-semanticlookup.zbmed.de/ols/api/terms?iri=http:%2F%2Fpurl.bioontology.org%2Fontology%2FMESH%2FD001249

The new OLS4 backend system only includes MeSH with English synonyms.

Example OLS4 response: https://semanticlookup.zbmed.de/ols/api/terms?iri=http:%2F%2Fpurl.bioontology.org%2Fontology%2FMESH%2FD001249

The feature you observed of displaying MeSH term synonyms in different languages was caused by the customised OLS3 MeSH version and does not longer occur because of the MeSH version in OLS4. @johannes-darms

For now we are fine with an english only version....
