What should the established form of the following be:
Title page: Sefer ha-ta.kanot le-.Hevrat "Tsiyon" be-Bal.timor,
Md.
Added title page title: Constitution of the Zion Association, of Baltimore,
Md.
The relevant LCRI's are:
24.3A. Language.
Do not apply the alternative rule found
in footnote 7 to rule 24.3A.
If the name of a corporate body appears
on its publications in different languages, apply the following:
1) If one of these is in the official
language of the body, use it.
2) If the body has two or more
official languages, one of which is English, use the English form.
3) If the body has two or more
official languages, none of which is English, use the form in the language
predominantly used in items issued by the body.
4) If the official language of
the body is not known, use the form in the official language of the
country in which the body is
located if the country has a single official language.
In determining the "official language" of a body
that hasn't turned up before, the rule of thumb is that its official
language
is the language the item is in (assuming the item "emanates" from the
body), unless there's evidence to the contrary.
In that case one should choose Hevrat "Tsiyon" (Baltimore, Md.)
as the heading (subscript dot under the H),
with a ref from Zion Association (Baltimore, Md.).
If, in the future, publications of the body turn
up that show it uses another language "officially", e.g.
English, the heading can be changed to reflect the new concept of what
the official language is.
CPSO suggests, regarding how to establish a corporate body that uses
more than one language in the first item received,
that it's always an option to follow RI 24.3A, no. 4 and establish
the body in the language of the country where
it's located, but PROVISIONALLY. Then when more
data come in, a better determination can
be made.
