Description
A group interested in Dataverse would like to be able to download metadata in other languages (a little more context in this Dataverse RT ticket). This issue is a placeholder ticket to capture that interest while more information is gathered. The issue is about user-generated text, such as what users enter into free text metadata fields. It's different than the internationalization discussions (https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/209) and work that's happened so far, since those are more about being able to provide translations for static text (metadata fields and field labels in the UI, validation text and messages, maybe controlled vocabulary terms, etc.).

Research direction
Start with the issue description and its linked RT ticket, then gather the missing requirements for translating user-generated metadata during download. Compare the request with issue #209 to keep it separate from static UI internationalization. The work is ready to implement only once supported languages, metadata scope, and expected downloaded output are defined.
