+== Overview ==
+
+All gco:CharacterString elements could be multilingual in ISO based standards.
+Allow multilingual editing.

+ * Vote proposed by X on Y, result was +/-n (m non-voting members).
+
+
+== Motivations ==
+
+
+== Proposal == 
+Metadata is defined by one main language (gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:language:gco:CharacterString) and other locale (gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:locale/*).
+
+If user add new translation, a new local element has to be added:
+{{{
+<locale>
+                <gmd:PT_Locale id="FR">
+                        <gmd:languageCode><gmd:LanguageCode codeList="#LanguageCode" codeListValue="fra">French</gmd:LanguageCode></gmd:languageCode>                   
+                        <gmd:characterEncoding><gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode codeList="#MD_CharacterSetCode" codeListValue="utf8">UTF 8</gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode></gmd:characterEncoding>
+                </gmd:PT_Locale>
+        </locale>
+}}}
+
+Configuration need to set the available languages the editor could use using a list of iso code.
+
+After editing, the new translated element is stored with:
+ * an xsi:type= « gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType»
+ * a first gco:CharacterString in the metadata language (in the example en)
+ * n gmd:PT_FreeText elements with each translation
+
+{{{
+        <scope xsi:type="gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType">
+                <gco:CharacterString>Codelists for description of metadata datasets compliant with ISO/TC 211 19115:2003 and 19139</gco:CharacterString>
+                <gmd:PT_FreeText>
+                        <gmd:textGroup>
+                                <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#FR ">Listes de codes pour la description de lots de métadonnées conforme ISO TC/211 19115:2003 et 19139</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
+                        </gmd:textGroup>
+                </gmd:PT_FreeText>
+        </scope>
+}}}
+
+SchemaLoader should be able to register complexType which are extension based on a PropertyType (and not only a Type). For example :
+{{{
+<xs:complexType name="PT_FreeText_PropertyType">
+                <xs:complexContent>
+                        <xs:extension base="gco:CharacterString_PropertyType">
+}}}
+
+Then the metadocument should add for all elements which are of type gco:CharacterString_PropertyType an xsi:type option with the list of type available.
+{{{
+<xs:element name="title" type="gco:CharacterString_PropertyType"/>
+}}}
+
+For title which is a gco:CharacterString_PropertyType, xsi:type could be :
+ * gco:CharacterString_PropertyType
+ * gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType
+Then if an xsi:type="gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType" the element is edited in multilingual mode.
+
+
+Via schema_suggestion, the editor will define if one element should be « suggested » as multilingual or not and which languages to suggest.
+{{{
+<field name="gmd:title">
+<suggest name="xsi:type" value="gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType">
+  <lang value= « eng »/>
+  <lang value= « fra »/>
+  <lang value= « deu »/>
+  <lang value= « ita »/>
+</suggest>
+</field> 
+
+}}}
+
+
+Then the editor will suggest multilingual editing interface.
+
+==== GUI ====
+
+A list of all available languages is proposed to the user next to all gco:CharacterString elements.
+
+Label (?)* : _input_________________  [Language selection list]

+=== Backwards Compatibility Issues ===
+ * Only ISO compliant
