Support for (biblatex) langid field in entry editor

[jspitz]

JabRef 5.12

I might have overlooked it, but I do not find the rather central langid field in the entry editor. This field defines the principal language of the entry, which is important for hyphenation and whether (sentence) casing is applied. There is also langidopts for fine-tuning (with polyglossia)

The field is described in http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf at section 2.2.3

In my opinion, this should go to the "Optional" tab.

Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime you can configure the field under Custome entry types.
JabRef's Standard fiels are listed here https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/13870d831e5d98d27127c4f8d9ec67f199d298be/src/main/java/org/jabref/model/entry/field/StandardField.java
We only have "language" as standard field atm

Thanks, that's what I've done.

Hello. Can I work on this issue? Thank you!

Hey, seeing this issue in more detail, it looks to me that the only thing needed to add the 'langid' field is to add it on the StandardFields. Next, I think I will have to work on the exporter so that it exports this info. However, I'm not sure whether I need to work on the importers as well (or which of them). Is there any maintainer who would be able to discuss this with me a bit?

@Skydrite Just start with the StandardField. No worries about importers. They will emerge gradually. -- Also depends on #11013.
