Incompatibility between GeoNetwork 3.10 / RNDT: i18n

[pdorio]

The "Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano" needs to compile the metadata in two languages.

1. The RNDT model is loaded. The metadata language is Italian. Note: The default title given to the new dataset is: "RNDTv2: Modello per dataset".
2. The XML is modified by adding the German "locale" parameters following the example of the INSPIRE multilingual datasets

<gmd:locale>
  <gmd:PT_Locale id="GER">
	 <gmd:languageCode>
		<gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/" codeListValue="ger">ger</gmd:LanguageCode>
	 </gmd:languageCode>
	 <gmd:characterEncoding/>
  </gmd:PT_Locale>
</gmd:locale>

3. An attempt is made to compile the metadata, it is no longer possible to compile the data in Italian

4. Modify the metadata by entering both languages as "locale".

<gmd:locale>
      <gmd:PT_Locale id="ITA">
         <gmd:languageCode>
            <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/" codeListValue="ita">ita</gmd:LanguageCode>
         </gmd:languageCode>
         <gmd:characterEncoding/>
      </gmd:PT_Locale>
  </gmd:locale>
   <gmd:locale>
      <gmd:PT_Locale id="GER">
         <gmd:languageCode>
            <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/" codeListValue="ger">ger</gmd:LanguageCode>
         </gmd:languageCode>
         <gmd:characterEncoding/>
      </gmd:PT_Locale>
  </gmd:locale>

5. Titles are compiled, this time it works.

6. Check the metadata saved in the XML, the titles are saved in gmd:LocalisedCharacterString. The main title, the one contained in gco:CharacterString will never be updated again.

<gmd:title xsi:type="gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType">
  <gco:CharacterString>RNDTv2: Modello per dataset</gco:CharacterString>
  <gmd:PT_FreeText>
	 <gmd:textGroup>
		<gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#ITA">Limiti amministrativi</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
	 </gmd:textGroup>
	 <gmd:textGroup>
		<gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#GER">Administrative Grenzen</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
	 </gmd:textGroup>
  </gmd:PT_FreeText>
</gmd:title>

This means that a harvesting from RNDT to this catalog will have the title 'RNDTv2: Modello per dataset' instead of 'Limiti amministrativi'.
