= Multilingual products =
This page is to discuss how to handle products that have text in multiple languages on their label.
== Problems addressed ==
* Single products with more than one language on the label
** Bilingual products
*** Products where all the texts on the label are in two (or more) languages
*** Common in bilingual countries (Belgium, Canada...)
*** e.g. most Cora products have all the text in French and in Dutch: http://world.openfoodfacts.org/brand/cora
* Products with some information in multiple languages
** e.g. ingredients and nutrition facts in many languages
** http://static.openfoodfacts.org/images/products/304/692/001/1013/ingredients.8.400.jpg
== Problems not addressed ==
* Products that have different labels in different languages, with the same barcode
** will be addressed by [[Project:Product versions]]
* Products that have different labels in different languages, with a different barcode
** we simply store them as different products
** we might consider linking the products in some way in a future project
* Translating ingredients
** will be addressed by ingredients taxonomy
