Multi-language support question

[dalito]

When I try with a concept table such as (template version 0.4.3)

Concept IRI*	Preferred Label*	Preferred Label Lang code	Definition*	Definition Language Code
ex:test/term1	term1	en	def for term1	en
ex:test/term1	Begr1	de	Def für Begr1	de

the result is

VIOLATION: Validation Result in MaxCountConstraintComponent (http://www.w3.org/ns/shacl#MaxCountConstraintComponent):
        Severity: sh:Violation
        Source Shape: <nfd3f058c64984a7d8df8ee78c1d1bfc8b79>
        Focus Node: <http://example.org/test/term1>
        Value Node: <>
        Message: More than 1 values on <http://example.org/test/term1>->skos:definition

The file you supplied is not valid according to the vocpub profile.

It seems that it is necessary (with the vocpub-profile) to give each translation of a concept its own IRI. This seem more SKOS-XL-like but how would one generate (from SKOS reference):

<MyResource>
  skos:prefLabel "animals"@en ;
  skos:altLabel "fauna"@en ;
  skos:hiddenLabel "aminals"@en ;
  skos:prefLabel "animaux"@fr ;
  skos:altLabel "faune"@fr .

with vocexcel?

I just had a look at the vocpub-profile. The unique language is specified here if I understand correctly.

In contrast, the textual description for requirement 2.3.1a of the profile makes no claim about concept labels in differrent languages.

What I speculated was not the true reason. Using sh:uniqueLang is not restricting labels to one language but prevents more than one label per language. The (unintended?) restriction to one language comes from sh:maxCount 1 (Requirement-2.3.1b). If this constraint is removed, vocexcel will generate SKOS-files with multiple languages.
