Randall Barry says:
}Thus, the answer to your question is, field 546 would be }used for
translation notes, IF this note needs to be made.
According to MARC21 "This field contains a textual note giving the
language(s) of the described materials." There is nothing about the
former language(s) or the work there. There is translation note among
the examples. It would be possible to suggest to MARBI that the
definition of the field be expanded, and that an example be added.
But that would dilute using 546 in a Boolean search to find text in a
desired language.
