Introduction

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

Standards

For international language standards, see the following:

For other metadata standards used see: 

http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Metadata

Local Language

The default language for all services are defined in the "build.properties" and/or "dspace.cfg" files. 

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/build.properties#L50
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L49
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L1402

Default Locale

Look for the following in the dspace.cfg file and configure accordingly. 

webui.supported.locales = en
default.locale = en_ZA

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

### 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

# 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
