Language choice in multilingual vocabularies

[NancyL]

CEDAR does not seem to read language extensions (@en, etc.). In using a multilingual vocabulary, I am getting a mix of languages in a drop down value list. I believe it is simply using the first language it finds. Ideally, we would be able to choose the language; at least temporarily could we could favor @en?

What do you mean by 'read'? Are you referring to the preferred labels from BioPortal?

CEDAR has essentially no explicit language handling either for display of BioPortal labels or for encoding strings in a particular language.

JSON-LD has a @language tag (https://json-ld.org/spec/latest/json-ld/#string-internationalization, https://json-ld.org/spec/latest/json-ld/#language-indexing) that could serve as a starting for some of this support.

No, the preferred labels in BioPortal are fine; they show English only. It is in CEDAR that they are not; when I add it as a pull down menu, it mixes the languages. All are coded @en or @de. As an example: MARC List for Languages. In CEDAR (snippet only) In BioPortal: Nancy

Screenshots of example: The term with id "eng" from the vocabulary MARC-LANGUAGES has 2 preflabels:
"English"@en
"Englisch"@de
In BioPortal, Preferred Name is shown as "English" but when you make a field in a CEDAR template, and choose Values to constrain the field, search for the term "English" and narrow my search to the MARC-LANGUAGES ontology, that same term appears but it's shown as "Englisch" not "English". Screenshots attached.
And this is possibly related to ncbo/goo#95
