In "my" repositories, the item template mechanism is used for this sort of thing. So when 99% of the items in a collection are in English, we'll set up an item template for that collection with that metadata value, which makes it selected by default in the submission form. The submitters can just change the value if it isn't correct. The one drawback I've heard of with this approach is that reviewers can't tell whether the submitter explicitly selected a value or just went with the default (usually this isn't a problem but sometimes it is). cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
