It would be nice if our automapping function could read column names more broadly.

Perhaps CSV Import could read "Title|comment comment comment" as "Title" to maintain automapping convenience while allowing users to use column names as a reference for further modifying.

Alternatively, we could allow users to flag the second row of the spreadsheet as comments that get displayed in the mapping table.

A third option would be to offer batch-mapping in the table alongside batch-options. Then, if automap doesn't work because you have a bunch of columns with similar names that need to be set up differently, you can still get them mapped efficiently.

In this specific instance, I suggested "dcterms:title.en" might map the dcterms:title part and the language could then be set manually. It would be great if we could create our own syntax to do things like language, data type, privacy, etc. but that's probably a lot to ask.
