Description puss1e.5.5.5.5 2024-07-23 11:29:15 UTC
The language(s) of a document are only visible when there is a value in the 041 field. Since this field is intended for multilingual/translated/etc. resources, and for other/unilingual resources the language information is typically just encoded in 008_35-37, the language of a document is often not displayed on OPAC.

The language field shown in the bibliographic record preview (on the search results page) and in the detailed bibliographic record should instead display:

041$a
008_35-37 (if there is no value in 041)

This should apply to both the OPAC and the intranet.
