Description
This field provides a set of language options but rather than being provided by the options attribute of the field configuration, the languages specified for the archive (in $c->{languages}
is used.
This field is only useful for multi-langauge repository where you might want to record the language metadata for a data object or a specific metadata field is captured in. However, you are probably better off using the Multilang field. Therefore, this field is somewhat deprecated.
