Hi Hristo, I'm not sure that I understand what you want to achieve. I have a feeling that you may be mixing two different things - Messages.properties and item metadata.
messages.properties contains static user interface strings that do not change and can be translated item metadata is not stored in Messages.properties, but in the database (metadata* tables) You would customize Messages.properties only if you want to 1) make changes to the user interface 2) translate the interface You would make changes to item metadata if you want to change what shows up e.g. in the simple/full item record view. There are many ways how you can change the metadata, see the various "importing" chaters here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/System+Administration I think you may be confused because the strings from Messages.properties (e.g. browse.type.metadata.author) look similar to metadata field names (e.g. dc.contributor.author). In fact, they are not at all related. Does that clear it up or was your problem something else?
