The Metadata accordion menu provides information on the video including standard and custom metadata. If your account is set up to provide metadata in multiple languages, you can use the drop-down menu in the top right corner to select a metadata localization set to edit. For more information about metadata localization sets, see the Metadata Localization chapter of the movingimage Administration Manual.
