[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] mixed language records, records of translations

[Christoph Schilling]

hi Galen,
thanks for your swift answer.

If I understood the 880 fields are only for transliteration of other
languages. In my case it would be a translation, for which the 880s
shouldn't be used, as it is not only a "alternate graphic
representation" of the same data.

Thanks for your answer and the description of indexing also other fields
than the default ones.

Christoph
