In this step by step guide we will use the German language files as an example. After you installed VIVO (like described here), get your desired VIVO-language and Vitro-language folders/repositories (in this example we will use the files found at https://github.com/vivo-DE). Be sure to use the theme 'wilma' or 'tenderfoot' for this to work without issues. 

• go into each language folder (VIVO-language and Vitro-language) and 'install' them with Maven ("mvn install")

• next, go into the VIVO project folder and uncomment the section for multiple language support in the two pom.xml files listed below:
  (search for '<!-- Dependencies for multilingual support -->' inside of the files)

  1. VIVO/installer/home/pom.xml

  2. VIVO/installer/webapp/pom.xml

  Make sure to change the <version> in the pom.xml-files to the same version as in the 'VIVO-language/pom.xml' and 'Vitro-language/pom.xml' file respectively.
  (In this example we had to change <version>[2.0.0,2.1.0)</version> to  to <version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> in three places: 2x in 'VIVO/installer/webapp/pom.xml' and 1x in 'VIVO/installer/home/pom.xml')
  Note that these should be the home/pom.xml and webapp/pom.xml in whatever installer project is being used to deploy VIVO.
• after that, we have to build VIVO again, so go into the VIVO project folder and
  
  • "mvn install -s installer/my-settings.xml"
• now edit the '/vivo_home_dir/config/runtime.properties' file in your VIVO home directory (as declared in your 'VIVO/installer/my-settings.xml' file)
  
  • uncomment/add 'RDFService.languageFilter = true'
  • uncomment/add 'languages.selectableLocales = en_US, de_DE'
• restart the tomcat
• you should now be able to select your installed language (in this case German) in the header of your VIVO site
