Language from which a translation was made

Used only when the <ContributorRole> code value is B06, B08 or B10 indicating a translator, to specify the language from which the translation was made. This makes it possible to specify a translator’s exact responsibility when a work involved translation from two or more languages. Optional and repeatable in the unlikely event that a single person has been responsible for translation from two or more languages.

Format Fixed-length, three lower-case letters. Note that ISO 639 specifies that these codes should always be in lower-case.
