Hi,
Is it possible to keep existing (or previously embedded) Lang Alt values when embedding MWG fields (i.e. x-lang default values). I need to keep them because in workflow they can be embedded before x-lang default values are embedded. Had no luck so far because, for instance, previously embedded xmp-dc:description-de and xmp-dc:description-ru all get deleted when mwg-description is embedded later.
This would be tricky to do via the MWG:Description tag. It would be easier to write the XMP-dc:Description-x-default tag instead.

Edit: Figured out a way to do what you asked. Ugly though:
To do it via MWG:Description, you could copy other languages back again, something like this:
exiftool -tagsfromfile @ "-xmp-dc:description*" -mwg:description="some description" FILE
