When attempting to add "Other language" via the medatada editor, it always
sets the language to "English" so I'm unable to add other languages via
the interface.

OS: Windows XP
Using todays 2.8 nightly build and latest MCP schema plugin.

Comment(by ianwallen):

The problem seems to be in the update-fixed-info.xsl file.

{{{
<xsl:template match="gmd:languageCode[gmd:LanguageCode/@codeList]"
priority="10">
  <xsl:copy>
   <gmd:LanguageCode
codeList="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/ML_gmxCodelists.xml#LanguageCode&quot;
codeListValue="eng">English</gmd:LanguageCode>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
}}}

Not sure why this was hard coded to "English"?

I also noticed the same for the Country - it is hard coded to "Australia"?
This means that code similar to the following would not be possible.
(Taken from [http://www.schemacentral.com/sc/niem21/e-gmd_PT_Locale.html\])

{{{

<gmd:PT_Locale>
    <gmd:languageCode>
       <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://www.example.com/&quot;
codeListValue="http://www.example.com/&quot;&gt;string&lt;/gmd:LanguageCode&gt;
    </gmd:languageCode>
    <gmd:country>
       <gmd:Country codeList="http://www.example.com/&quot;
codeListValue="http://www.example.com/&quot;&gt;string&lt;/gmd:Country&gt;
    </gmd:country>
    <gmd:characterEncoding>
       <gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode codeList="http://www.example.com/&quot;
codeListValue="http://www.example.com/&quot;&gt;string&lt;/gmd:MD\_CharacterSetCode&gt;
    </gmd:characterEncoding>
</gmd:PT_Locale>
}}}

I have upload a proposed patch based on the update-fixed-info.xsl from
update-fixed-info.xsl

Comment:

I believe this was just a partial fix. It fixed the issue in that I can
now select another main languages for the MCP metadata.

However if I click on "Other Languages" for the metadata I get an blank
selection box. So I cannot create a multilingual record.

This may be related to Ticket #1054?

Comment:

Yes - Both languageCode *and* language need to be processed in iso19139
mode to pick up the language select box - why can't we all speak one
language eg. esperanto? - would make things much easier! :slight_smile: Thanks.
