Configuring metadata for target languages
Metadata fields do not contain data when a target language object is created unless the fields are configured to be copied from the source language object in the translation configuration file.
About this task
When a target language object is created, the metadata of the new language object is assembled using the following input:
- First the metadata fields specified in the translation configuration file will be copied from the source language object,
- then Metadata fields specified in the UI are added,
- and finally you can use a write metadata plugin to adapt or add a value on a specific field.
The following procedure describes how to extend the default configuration with one extra metadata field for illustrations and how to add a metadata field specific to a user group (ISHUserGroup).
