* Generally, the information must be provided in French. <span style="color:red">When information quoted in field 670 comes from a source in a language other than French, the Guide asks cataloguers to “generally translate the information into French, in an informal manner, summarizing as appropriate”.

It is understood that all information in English will not necessarily have an equivalent in French. This would be the case, for example, for terms belonging to a controlled vocabulary for which there is no French version. In this case, the information must be deleted.
