Thesaurus titles are not translated in geonetwork 4.2 default view

[tylerjmchugh]

In the geonetwork 4.2 record "default view", the keywords thesaurus titles only show in the main language of the record regardless of the UI language.

Example scenario:

• Add a new record with a main language of English and alternate language of French
• Add some keywords from a thesaurus to the record (Ex. Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus)
• Open the record in the default view with the UI language set to French
• Under Technical Information / Informations techniques the thesaurus title appears in English

This seems to be caused by the index using only gco:CharacterString without gmd:LocalisedCharacterString.

I suspect that something similar to what is being done with the keyword values should also be done with the thesaurus title.

But this seems like it would also require core-geonetwork changes as well to display the correct value. Is there a better solution without core changes?

A solution, not the most elegant, but that doesn't require code changes, is to add inLanguages & translations

https://SERVER/geonetwork/srv/eng/admin.console#/settings/languages

A translation with the key Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus, with these translations:

• English: Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus
• French: Thésaurus des sujets de base du gouvernement du Canada
