[redland-dev] xml:lang problems

[Sebastian Dietzold]

Hi there,

i've tested a little bit with redland. I like it, because of its php 
bindings and i want to use it for some private and university projects.

How can i read the language of a literal? I've seen that the 
librdf_node_to_string function glues literal and xml:lang attribute with a 
@ together but this means that the Literals in these two statements had 
identical strings, isnt it?

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://sebastian.dietzold.de/terms/me">
         <foaf:nick xml:lang="de">Seebi</foaf:nick>
</rdf:Description>

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://sebastian.dietzold.de/terms/me">
         <foaf:nick>Seebi at de</foaf:nick>
</rdf:Description>

Or it is possible to check the language in another way?

And what about included elements? The Literal from the statement

<rdf:Description xml:lang="de" rdf:about="http://sebastian.dietzold.de/terms/me">
         <foaf:nick>Seebi</foaf:nick>
</rdf:Description>

should also returned in this way as "Seebi at de" or am i wrong?

How do you solve this problem actually? I hope, i'm not the first who has 
to deal with the xml:lang attribute :-)

thanks for help

bye

Seebi
