    Description:
    Create a better Web OPAC display for MARC languages - would like to have the language(s) display - no matter which field it's from (041, otherwise 008) and we would like the language name not the MARC code.

    Resolution:
    Change abc01/tab/tab_expand from:
    WEB-FULL expand_doc_type tab_type_config

    to this - add a second expand_doc_type:
    WEB-FULL expand_doc_type tab_type_config
    WEB-FULL expand_doc_type tab_type_config_lng

    use the attached tab_type_config_lng.eng in abc01/tab/

    Change abc01/tab/edit_doc_999.eng from:
    ## 041## D LLanguage Y E

    to this - comment out the 041 and add LNG:
    !## 041## D LLanguage Y E
    ## LNG D LLanguage Y E

    A note on the display:

    A single 041, for example
    041 $apol
    will display:
    Polish

    Multiple 041 in a single subfield will only display the first language, for example
    041 $aengpol
    will display:
    English

    Multiple 041 in individual subfields will display all of the languages, for example
    041 $aeng $apol
    will display:
    English
    Polish
