Question
Which localized documents are alternatives for the same user task?
Nodes
Localized page; Language; Region; Alternate group
Relationship sketch
- page → locale
- page → alternate page
Evidence inputs
Actual translated/localized pages and annotations, canonical policy, language/region intent.
Implementation
Validate reciprocal alternative sets under the current implementation method. Do not confuse localization with location claims or populate a graph using untranslated duplicate pages.
Acceptance checks
- Alternate URLs resolve as intended
- Annotation sets are consistent and reciprocal where required
- Language/region intent matches actual content
Do not infer
An alternate-language page is not a different business entity.
Publication boundary
Appropriate locale annotations public.
Source basis
S18, S17. See Research/sources.json. Sources support the primitives or named technology. The organization, labels, actions, and acceptance contracts in this catalog are this library's design, not claimed provider requirements.
