SUMMARY

Islandora Multilingual Configuration defines language suffixes for all displayable object parts (datastreams and solr fields). It is based off of the PDF solution pack.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Islandora
  • Islandora Solr Search

CONFIGURATION

Before creating multilingual objects, you must:

  • create a collection for them
  • alter the MODS-to-Solr transform to append the language suffix to each field, e.g. mods_titleInfo_title_ms_EN
  • Create a metadata form for each language,
  • which contains a textfield called 'label'
  • which contains a (hidden) field specifying the languageOfCataloging as that particular language
  • which is associated with the appropriate datastream (e.g. MODS-DE) ** and in the association, the 'label' field above is used for the Fedora label
