<a:Local>

AWLocal is used to mark content that should be localized.

Content is usually initially authored without a key. E.g.

<a:Local>No items match your query</a:Local>

Then a script is run that assigns a key to the item, and externalizes tag content as the default translation is a message string file. The tag would then read:

<a:Local key="a001">No items match your query</a:Local>

AWLocal supports more advanced substitutions where the message contains embedded dynamic content. E.g.:

<a:Local key="a001">
    Click <a:Hyperlink action="$reviewItem">here</a:Hyperlink> to review
    or <a:Hyperlink action="$cancelItem">cancel</a:Hyperlink>.
</a:Local>

In this case the string written to the localization file would have the dynamic content replaced with positional placeholders. E.g.

"Click {0}here{/0} to review or {1}cancel{/1}."

Wrapping longer bits of content containing dynamic elements gives the localizer the flexibility to reorder elements as necessary to meet this needs of the translation.
