Concept
Translation Status
Whether a record's title and abstract in each language are in the original language of the work or a translation, and how the public site shows this.
The translation status tells whether a record's title and abstract in each language were written in the language of the work or are a translation. Readers can then tell the original text from a translation.
Default status
Each language tab has a Translation status field with the value Original language or Translation. Unless you choose otherwise, the text in the language of the Language of the work field counts as original and the other languages count as translations. If you change the language of the work, the default status changes too.
If you choose something other than the default, your choice is saved and kept even when the language of the work changes. For example, for a work published in two languages you can select Original language on both language tabs.
Display on the public site
When a reader opens a publication in a translated language, the note "Title and abstract are a translation" and the original language of the work appear below the title. Abstracts in the other languages carry a "translation" mark.
Missing translation
If a language has no title, the panel shows Translation missing on that language's tab. In the Publications list the record carries the EN missing or TR missing label. For a missing language the public site shows the Turkish content.
