Introduction

Internationalization localization, requires that the language and locale be configured.

Step 1 - Default Language

Edit the following file: 

nano $HOME/source/build.properties

Go to line 50 and define a language according to: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langhome.html 

See example below.

# Default language for metadata values
default.language = en_ZA

Step 2 - Default Locale

Edit the following file: 

nano $HOME/source/dspace/config/dspace.cfg

Go to line 1402 or search for default.locale and define locale according to: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langhome.html

See example below. 

### i18n -  Locales / Language ####
# Default Locale
# A Locale in the form country or country_language or country_language_variant
# if no default locale is defined the server default locale will be used.
default.locale = en_ZA

Step 3 - Supported Locales

Edit the following file: 

nano $HOME/source/dspace/config/dspace.cfg

Go to line 1402 or search for webui.supported.locales and modify accordingly.

See example below. 

# All the Locales, that are supported by this instance of DSpace
# A comma-separated list of Locales. All types of Locales country, country_language, country_language_variant
# Note that the appropriate file are present, especially that all the Messages_x.properties are there
# may be used, e. g: webui.supported.locales = en, de
webui.supported.locales = en, de, fr, uk, es, bg, ca, el, et, gl, it, ja, pl, ru, tr

For each "webui.supported.locales" a language file must exist, see below for the XMLUI language files customisation.

Step 4 - XMLUI Language files customisation

Click here to modify the language files used by the XMLUI interface.

Language Metadata Export Fix

Type the following when connected to the PostgreSQL database; 

UPDATE metadatavalue SET text_lang=NULL WHERE text_lang=;

Standards

For international language standards, see the following:

For other metadata standards used see:
