So where does the ill-advised practice of multiple opf dc language entries originate from? Anybody?
Well I'm redoing a book for a friend which was published as a fixed layout epub3 and a pdf version. For the meta data for the book I lifted it straight from the fixed layout version, which as far as I know was generated using indesign.

I don't know if indesign generated the meta data or the publisher used a standard template.

I can't track it down unfortunately. I think indesign uses javascript to add metadata maybe a bad script??
