Thanks so much for this response, Christine. As suspected, it was indeed
our plugin that modifies the EAD export, but your explanation of the name
changes for many of the language fields was very helpful to us get to the
root of the issue. If anyone is running into a similar issue regarding
export plugins, I'd be happy to talk with you about how we identified and
made these updates to resolve this on our end.

Best,
Rachel
