Description

We need to be able to have different language versions of document metadata. For example, a dc.Title in English, and a dc.Title in French. The user will see the appropriate version of the metadata depending on the language he is viewing the page in. Will need a default language then.

This will affect:

* GLI: allow entering metadata in different languages. Maybe an extra column in Enrich panel?

* metadata.xml file needs language attribute in Metadata element.

*doc.xml object and archive file needs language attributes.

*indexing metadata - do we just put it all in, or will we have separate indexes for each language?

*classifiers - have an option to only use metadata for a particular language?

* gdbm db - need to store language info for each metadata - can do this like we do language specific collection metadata

* runtime - make sure we get the right language metadata to display.

Is that all?
