[EP-tech] multilang fields in EPrints
Hi Tomasz,
I will check to see if multilang fields without "multiple => 1", I
assumed this would work but maybe there are issues, as I have not
thoroughly tested the multilang field recently.
I don't expect the multilang fields to work particularly well for other
export formats, as it is not used in any of the default metadata for
EPrints.? This could certainly be implemented either by further
improvements to the export plugins in the core codebase or by extending
export plugins to better support multilang fields.? I assume by your
reference to OAI-PMH you are looking at the Dublin Core and similar
plugins to support the lang attribute.
That eptech thread about importing multilang field is rather tl;dr;.? I
am not aware of any specific changes to multilang fields with relation
to import in recent years.? I certainly have not been doing much work on
multilang fields in EPrints 3.4 in recent releases.? I think you need to
have a play with exporting and importing multilang fields and report
back on your experience.? I could test this but I work just be doing
this in a very generic way to confirm a basic multilang field can be
exported and then imported and the data for this field in the record
that was exported looks the same as the data for this field in the
imported record.
Regards
David Newman
