Required field.
3-letter codes, lower-case, indicating the language versions in which a
document or publication is available or issued.
See CODES for UNBIS language codes used in field 041.
Codes for language versions are recorded in a continuous string; codes for official
UN languages are recorded first, in alphabetical order, followed by codes for
non-official languages in alphabetical order.
In case of multilingual documents,
the 3-letter code mul should precede the language codes.
If a multilingual publication is
also available in other languages, record the language codes for the multilingual
document in tag 041 following the 3-letter
code mul. Add a Language Note (tag 546) identifying the other languages
in which the document is available, but do not record codes for those languages in 041. Notes about language editions in additional physical formats or by other publishers are recorded in General Note field 500, not in 546.
If a document is only issued in certain languages, and the
document series is normally issued also in other languages (this is usually specified
on the document masthead below the symbol and imprint as 獷NGLISH ONLY�, 獸RAN茿IS
SEULEMENT�, etc.) then a 546
Language Note is added : �English only�, �French and Spanish only�, etc. corresponding to the language codes entered in 041.
If a document contains summaries in various languages in
addition to the language of the publication, those language codes are specified
in 041 $b.
