MCP - unable to add "Other language"

[ianwallen]

When attempting to add "Other language" via the medatada editor, it always sets the language to "English" so I'm unable to add other languages via the interface.

OS: Windows XP Using todays 2.8 nightly build and latest MCP schema plugin.

The problem seems to be in the update-fixed-info.xsl file.

<xsl:template match="gmd:languageCode[gmd:LanguageCode/@codeList]" priority="10">
 <xsl:copy>
  <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/ML_gmxCodelists.xml#LanguageCode" codeListValue="eng">English</gmd:LanguageCode>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Not sure why this was hard coded to "English"?

I also noticed the same for the Country - it is hard coded to "Australia"? This means that code similar to the following would not be possible. (Taken from ​http://www.schemacentral.com/sc/niem21/e-gmd_PT_Locale.html)

<gmd:PT_Locale>
   <gmd:languageCode>
      <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://www.example.com/" codeListValue="http://www.example.com/">string</gmd:LanguageCode>
   </gmd:languageCode>
   <gmd:country>
      <gmd:Country codeList="http://www.example.com/" codeListValue="http://www.example.com/">string</gmd:Country>
   </gmd:country>
   <gmd:characterEncoding>
      <gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode codeList="http://www.example.com/" codeListValue="http://www.example.com/">string</gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode>
   </gmd:characterEncoding>
</gmd:PT_Locale>

I have upload a proposed patch based on the update-fixed-info.xsl from update-fixed-info.xsl

Fixed in commit: ​https://github.com/geonetwork/schema-plugins/commit/d4569f95a057c2a2a83678483b1b73e951ae2077

I believe this was just a partial fix. It fixed the issue in that I can now select another main languages for the MCP metadata.

However if I click on "Other Languages" for the metadata I get an blank selection box. So I cannot create a multilingual record.

This may be related to Ticket #1054?

Yes - Both languageCode *and* language need to be processed in iso19139 mode to pick up the language select box - why can't we all speak one language eg. esperanto? - would make things much easier! :-) Thanks.
