We have requirements to publish metadata in English and French.
Using svn trunk, does GN allow for publishing an English metadata record
and French metadata record while assigning it to a single id? Or is
each metadata record an independent entry.
Our use case is having a logical associate between a metadata entry
offered in various language profiles.
Thanks

and French metadata record while assigning it to a single id? Or is

Multilingual metadata editing is defined in iso19139. You don’t have to make one record for each languages. Using iso19139, you could translate only some gco:CharacterString elements (eg. gmd:title and gmd:keywords). We made most of the work in geocat.ch sandbox.
When creating multilingual metadata editing, some other questions have to be taken into account:
Basically, in geocat.ch sandbox, we choose to view metadata content in GUI language if available. If not, in default metadata language (ie. gmd:language). One index by languages is created and when searching GUI language is boost for results to be on top of the list.
See proposal for details:
http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/MultilingualMetadata
More works needed to merge this to trunk (not sure how much works is required due to editor Ajax changes). I have to chech that and keep you and the list up to date.
Cheers. Francois

That's great news. We are aware of the ISO support in a single
document, but wondered whether this would be available in the GN
metadata GUI.
Do you have a timeline on when this will make it into the codebase?
