What is the language of the descriptions of the records which don’t have a 
language field? – Always the same, default language or different languages?

All of the records have 1 description field. But only some of the records have 
a language field (and it is not always the same language).

1. are you sure blank is truly blank? i.e. there could be some default language 
you are not seeing
2. is there always a lang field attached when there is more than one 
description?

Hi all, I could use some advice on a problem I'm having with prepping an 
upload...

My batch of images contain descriptions written in a half-dozen languages, so I 
need to have different language tags for them. However, only SOME of the files 
have that metadata included (other times it's just blank so I can't help that).

My metadata has these two elements, for example:
<description> lorem ipsum </description>
<language> en </language>

And, if I understand the documentation correctly, I need for it to be formatted 
in this way if I want to get the GWT to automatically wrap the language 
template:
<description lang='en'> lorem ipsum </description>

Question 1: Is that correct that I need to merge these two metadata fields in 
that way? Or, am I able to leave them as they currently are (that would be 
ideal!)

Question 2: If I DO have to merge them, how can I merge these two fields when 
only SOME of the records have a <language> tag at all? (recalling that I can't 
add the same tag to all the records because they're in multiple different 
languages).

I hope this makes sense...

Sincerely,
-Liam
