UPDATE

In this version of the backend, we can't extract strings for language names; we'll show the code in the component.
However, logic is implemented so that if a 'geonode:multilang-lang-label' field is present.
Alternatively the name of the languages loaded from MS lang names list(but names is not localized to current language) and the code are shown together with the name

Summary of Changes

Hello @stefanocudini, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the metadata editor by introducing comprehensive multilingual support for text-based fields. It achieves this by integrating a new TextWidgetMultiLang component that provides a dynamic interface for users to manage content in multiple languages. The underlying MetadataEditor container has been refactored to intelligently transform the schema and metadata, ensuring seamless conversion between the multilingual display format and the single-language storage format, thereby enabling a more versatile and internationalized data entry experience.

Highlights

Multilingual Field Support: Implements support for multilingual fields in the metadata editor, aligning with a new JSON schema definition.
New TextWidgetMultiLang: Introduces a custom TextWidgetMultiLang for the rjsf library, capable of handling both text input and textarea fields.
Dynamic UI for Languages: Provides a user interface with language selection buttons, allowing users to input and switch between different language versions of a field.
Schema and Data Transformation: Includes logic within the MetadataEditor container to transform the JSON schema and metadata between single-language and multilingual formats for proper display and storage.
Integration with SchemaField: The SchemaField component is updated to dynamically render the new TextWidgetMultiLang based on the ui:widget property in the UI schema.

Code Review

This pull request introduces multi-language support for text fields in the metadata editor, a valuable feature enhancement. The implementation involves a new TextWidgetMultiLang widget and associated logic for data and schema transformation. My review has identified a critical issue regarding direct mutation of component props, which violates React's core principles and must be fixed. Additionally, there are high-severity issues related to hardcoded values and incomplete logic that impact maintainability and correctness. I have also included several medium-severity suggestions to improve code quality by removing unused code, debugging statements, and commented-out blocks. Addressing these points will significantly improve the robustness and quality of the new feature.

@subashtiwari1010 Thank you for this observation, in last commit the form title is consistent with the previous single-language behavior, it uses the default language.

@stefanocudini I noticed a bug here, check the video attached for more information.

Go to the sidebar
Click to open the section list
Click the fields such as date, category (that do not have the multi-language support).
The form will scroll to view for such fields
Click the field (here Title and Abstract) that have multi-language support
The form will not scroll to view for such fields
