Open kqzheng opened 6 months ago

kqzheng commented 6 months ago

Feature Description

When the book's language is already set to Hindi with script support added, authors and contributors in Hindi cannot be added to metadata.

More specifically, the book info page is not able to save any contributors in Hindi. After saving, the author in Hindi then turned blank. image

See test book here: https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/testkz/wp-admin/index.php?page=book_dashboard

If a non-Hindi author is added, the Hindi author will be added as "--2" which was made a new contributor in addition to the original contributor name in Hindi. (see https://opentextbc.ca/isvinternationalhi/)

Feature Use Case

This will support publication and translation in Hindi.
