            Bug ID: 10335
           Summary: UNIMARC authorities search doesn't display properly
                    information on parallel form
    Classification: Unclassified
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: MARC Authority data support

UNIMARC authorities can contain translated headings.  The language is coded in
$8 subfield:

"Subfield $8 contains 6 character positions (designated as $8/0, 8/1, etc.) 
The first group of three characters specifies the language of catalogue into
which the heading in the field is designed to fit; the second group of three
characters specifies the language of the base heading. The language codes are
listed in the ISO 639-2 standard and in Appendix A of the UNIMARC Manual -
Bibliographic Format."  (cf. UNIMARC manual : authorities format. -- 2nd rev.
and enl. ed. -- München : Saur, 2001, p. 66)

I.e. it is the second triple designates the language of in which the actual
parallel form is entered. 

Currently the information is displayed wrongly.  

To reproduce:
1) Create an authority record with main heading (100) in Latin script (e.g.
Oppenheimer, Aharon -- subfields $a and $b) and parallel form (700) in Hebrew
(אופנהיימר, אהרן -- subfields $a and $b). Mark it correctly in $8 with freheb
(or engheb if you like);
2) reindex and search;
3) you will see: 

Oppenheimer Aharon
freheb: אופנהיימר 

Whereas you would rather like to see (mind language and lack of $b above):

Oppenheimer, Aharon 
Hebrew: אופנהיימר, אהרן 

A patch will follow.
