titleCreate XMP Mapping on Translated Fields

Create XMP Mapping on Translated Fields

Prerequisites

  • Files with DC Subject keywords in English, in German.

  • Picturepark list items with translated text fields as names, all translated.

Our Goal

  • The XMP mapping should map all subject keywords from the files into the tagbox if either the German or English translation is used.

Add XMP Mapping

The German translation and the English translation count as different fields. If you want to lookup on two different fields, you'll need to configure two mappings (and you are also then able to specify a priority between them; e.g. name.en with priority 10, stop = true, and then name.de with priority 9. This will lookup in English names first, if found the lookup stops, otherwise it will check the German name.

Info

You must select the mapping direction in order to be able to select a field.

Info

You cannot add both translations as keys, cause the values would be concatenated; e.g. if you add name.en “Apple” and name.de “Apfel” as key fields, you get “AppleApfel” as imported value.

  1. Add another new mapping

  2. Select the mapping direction "XMP to Metadata"

    1. as we want to write to Picturepark

    2. and we do not want to write back to XMP
