Description
Preserve an explicit field-note language-switch span and supplied language tag.
Anthropological records preserve source language, translation status, community terms, household reference dates, kinship labels and permission context. A reciprocal-term display is not a verified kinship rule, while a pseudonym collision differs from identity verification. Display masks and public-access labels do not establish adequate protection or valid consent.
Preserve an explicit field-note language-switch span and supplied language tag.
When to use this tool
Use Field Note Language Switch Span Label when you already have noteId, spanLocator, suppliedLanguageTag and need to preserve an explicit field-note language-switch span and supplied language tag.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter noteId, spanLocator, suppliedLanguageTag. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter noteId, spanLocator, suppliedLanguageTag using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| noteId | Note Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| spanLocator | Span Locator | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedLanguageTag | Supplied Language Tag | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"noteId": "N17",
"spanLocator": "lines 4-6",
"suppliedLanguageTag": "es"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"N17\",\"lines 4-6\",\"es\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without detecting language. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original field records, community-provided terms, translation sources and permission instructions for actual interpretation or reuse. Apply protection to underlying records and evaluate the full research context; local keys and status labels do not perform those tasks.
