--- Comment #6 from mahikeulbody <digi...@donaflor.fr> ---
I don't speak english natively. But in this case it is not matter of language
or translation, it is matter of logic : since I am using Digikam with the same
language as IPTC standard (english) it seems logical to label an UI metadata
field as the corresponding metadata standard name, which is creator in this
case (into the XMP Editor) and not byline.

You are absolutely right (I forgot that). As a consequence it may be not easy
to use if the UI label of the search field don't reflect all possible sources
when they have different names across standards (EXIF, IIM, XMP). In my case,
as I never use IIM fields, I was not aware of the IIM name of the creator so I
searched a little bit before to understand it was byline and not the same name
as the XMP metadata field.

I agree but this way many people continue to believe there is a standard from
IPTC organization and another one from Adobe. Instead of understand that one
(IIM) is a LEGACY standard which should not be used anymore for new photos and
that BOTH standards are managed by the same organization (IPTC). Anyway my
comment was a"BTW comment" so I don't really care, I just though that Digiakm
could help to educate the mass ;-)

I understand. Thanks.
