Description
Describe the problem you would like to solve
From the Coalition Publica metadata working group:
One of the most frequent issues with metadata is that users will enter more than one language into a single field because they want both to display. If users could selectively display more than one language for some metadata elements, we would certainly see a decrease in metadata abuse. Abstracts are an excellent example. It is very common to see two languages in a single abstract field because a journal wants to show both abstracts on an article landing page. For example, an English-language journal may have very little additional metadata or website copy available in French, but they want to provide French abstracts for English articles so that their Francophone readers can decide if they want to take the time reader an article in English. This example could be equally true for a French-language journal, or for other metadata fields such as title and keywords.
Describe the solution you'd like
Rather than displaying only the current language's metadata, with a fallback on the primary language, permit the display of metadata in both languages on the same page.
This might need to be treated differently depending on the context. For example, it's common for an article landing page to present information in two languages at once (e.g. French and English) for titles and abstracts. For other fields (e.g. keywords) it might be better to introduce a visual indication that other languages may be available, with a way to toggle that display.
