Checks for S100_DatasetDiscoveryMetadata and S100_CatalogueDiscoveryMetadata:

If a dataset or catalog uses a language or languages other than (or in addition to) English, every language in the dataset/catalog must be indicated in defaultLocale/otherLocale attributes in the corresponding discovery metadata block.
If English is one of the languages used in a dataset or catalog, it must be encoded in defaultLocale.

Check for S100_SupportFileDiscoveryMetadata:

If a support file is in a language other than English, the language must be encoded in defaultLocale in the corresponding S100_SupportFileDiscoveryMetadata block.

Check for support file content:

A support file that contains informative text intended for display to end-users must use only one language for all such text.

Why? I don't understand why this is useful for dataset/catalog discovery.
- The dataset encodes this information internally.
- The catalog uses language packs to support this functionality - the catalog itself is always required to be in English.
The default value for defaultLocale is English, so it should only be required to encode a defaultLocale if it is not English.

Where in the dataset is this information encoded? What if the dataset is encrypted? Requires a paid license?
Where is the requirement that the catalog (which catalog?) is always required to be in English?
If locale information is not needed I suggest submitting a proposal to remove those attributes from the respective metadata classes.

...it should only be required to encode a defaultLocale if it is not English.

The check ensures that English is not encoded in an otherLocale instead of defaultLocale when there are multiple languages.
