Bonjour, I agree that this is a limitation in DSpace. As collection and community are items in DSPace (and thus have there own metadata), maybe a way to solve this problem would be to allow language selections at the metadata level, like it could be done already for objects metadata (i.e abstracts). For collections, it would look like this: [image: dspace-multilingual-collection-metadata.png] What do you think of this avenue to solve the problem?
There is already an issue for this on Github dspace-angular repository: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1464. We could build on it. Thanks!
