Is there any use case for a text_language value of an empty or blank string?
Should we not convert such values to null values in the business logic layer on
ingestion, and remove this puzzle?
No, there is not. It's just a hard puzzle to solve. I'm not exactly sure *when*
these empty / blank language values get into the system.
guess they come mostly from import and templates. (gonna check tomorrow just
leaving).
And they are difficult to get rid of via the UI. One can only delete the
metadatum and create it again.
Apart from making sure they are not created a curation task to clean up would be good.
Not only for empty values but invalid ones not referring to a locale or some with
trailing spaces etc. like "en ". As the text_lang influences other things like
sort in browse it would be useful. Also checking for null values where there most likely
should be some and for fields which should not have any and got some. In older versions
the default text lang was applied to all metadata field even dates.
