I use the term, databank, to mean the fields/values for the application.

Internationalizing the interface is not of interest to me, in the sense
of creating a derivative work.  I am interested in developing a form
that our volunteers can use to collect the fields/values needed to
create a license and to upload to archive.org.

Can you help me?
Happy New Year,
Tom
