There is a request from France to have a translated version for a local research project. @SachaHq

In order to be also used in other context and lower barriers it should be discussed if it is a good idea to have additional translations for non-English speakers.

In general we can investigate and discuss different approaches for multilingual metadata:

  1. Translate all keys and corresponding descriptions
    pro: More people can use it; Can be handled by OMI
    contra: More work to maintain additional versions; Native speakers needed
  2. Create translated user interfaces that use the English metadata
    pro: Only one version to maintain
    contra: Metadata outside the interface are not usable for some
