Editing Adding multilang fields (section)

== Multilang fields and EPrints ==
EPrints supports the '''multilang''' field type (see [[API:EPrints/MetaField/Multilang]] for more details) which allows a user to insert different content for different languages. There are a few limitations with '''multilang''' fields though:

* When its value is printed it is shown in all languages containing content.
* If a basic EPrints field's type is replaced to become '''multilang''' (like '''title''' and '''abstract'''), EPrints functionality breaks because it expects a single output.

To address these limitations. this article explains how we can replace a basic field, the '''title''' field as an example, with a multilingual one.
