[Koha-devel] Language Field in Biblio table

[Albert P. Calame]

> Hi All!
>     Hi Chris!
>         This is a great idea!  It will help improve the correspondence
> between the Biblio records and MARC which has several places to note the
> language of the item - notably the 041 field which holds the language
codes
> for the language of the work, the language of the original if a
translation,
> etc.  There is also a place in the 008 fixed data field to store the
code -
> e.g.. eng for english, fre for french, ger for german, etc.  There is a
> listing of all such codes on the MARC STANDARDS page of the Library of
> Congress Web Page.
