[and 12 others], i.e., the language of the catalogue, in contrast
to the [by], [par] etc. we used to supply prior to ISBD's "/".
SLC can't do this because of the differing language of the catalogue
among our clients. We will stick with the ISBD Latin abbreviations.
We considered Heidrun's idea of the language of the text, but coming
up with the various texts is time consuming, particularly if there are
diacritics as in French. We also like the continuity with legacy
records.
RDA if very unilingual and Anglophone centric.
