[Geoserver-users] Map data in multiple languages

Has anyone dealt with internationalization for map data in GeoServer?

I have some free map layers for naturalearthdata.com but all of the metadata is in English. I need to add support for multiple languages.

I see that Geoserver’s SLD has this: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/sld-language.html?highlight=abstract . Is this a manual way to apply internationalization to metadata?

No. Basic metadata such as title and abstract cannot, at present, be
internationalized.
We looked into it a couple of times already, but it's not a weekend
project, needs funding and/or developers to get done:
