[Dspace-general] Arabic Language Metadata

[Andrew Hankinson]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to customize Dspace to do Arabic language metadata.  We have a number of recordings of Arabic folk music that our researchers want to catalogue in English and Arabic.

>From what I can tell, the only problem (so far) would be that Dspace assumes all metadata submissions are in English. ('en') I have an idea that I would simply add a new entry to 'input-forms.xml' so that it would double each field i.e. English Author / Arabic Author, English Title / Arabic Title, etc.  However, I cannot seem to find the place where I can tell it that that particular field will be catalogued in Arabic.

Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

Andrew
