Last updated: 19/04/2022
There are three possible relationships between text (for example of a title, or description) can be related to the language in which it is couched. These are independent of the language itself. They are listed below:
| id | name | description | source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Original in English | Originally written in English. | ECRIN |
| 12 | Translated | Translated into this language (almost always English). | ECRIN |
| 13 | Transliterated | Transliterated into Latin characters in this language. | ECRIN |
| 21 | Original (explicitly non English) | Explicitly listed as a title or text 'in the vernacular'. | ECRIN |
| 22 | Original (presumed non English) | Presumed as a non English title or text from context or content. | ECRIN |
| 0 | Not yet known | Dummy value supplied by default on entity creation. | ECRIN |
At present these types are used only in relation to (study and object) titles.
