I am not sure if this is the right place to ask (feel free to redirect me if required) but here is the question:

Hello and you are most welcome! That's not a question about Koha development. You are more likely to get an answer on the general list. I'd try there: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Our books are a mix of French and English volumes and we would like to translate our authorities (the topical terms). The idea is that we want our students to have access to topical terms in French or in English, and access to our complete collection (French and English volumes) related to this particular topic.

I know that it is possible to duplicate an authority - so one idea was to duplicate (and translate) authorities... but then I didn't find a simple way to automatically link items from the source to the duplicated authority (am I missing something there?)

Or is there a way to localize existing authorities?

Or is there another (different, better) way?
