once the item is created use the "Edit item" link on the item page. There is a metadata field for language.

no. you now need to go:
Edit item > change the information > Item manager > click the "derive" button. this will create the Abbyy ocr file and all subsequent formats that use it.

Done, will this create a new file, or update the current one?

If it is a new file, how can I find it?

Wish it went that smooth..

It is possible that it has not been updated yet, and if so, I apologize. But it seems that my task is not in queue, so I assume it has been complete. Unfortunately, the OCR does not seem to be updated with Spanish characters. The field I edited was "Language" where I typed in Spanish. Should I type in "EspaƱol" or something? Or is there a different field that I need to type in?

If it helps, the extension is http://www.archive.org/details/LasFuerzasExtraas

didn't know that your item had derived. it won't derive new versions of existing derived files so they had to be removed. i did that and started a new derive. you can see the progress at http://www.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id=86106587

It is, thank you again. So you deleted all of the existing derivatives in "Internet Archive Item Editing Tool" except for the pdf, which was now assigned as being read in Spanish, and then rederived?
