How to install language files 

...

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

  • VIVO/installer/home/pom.xml

  • VIVO/installer/webapp/pom.xml

  Change the <version> in the two pom.xml files to the same version as in the 'VIVO-language/pom.xml' and 'Vitro-language/pom.xml' file respectively.  You may need to change the version in multiple places in the files.
• Build VIVO from the VIVO project folder using mvn install -s installer/my-settings.xml
• Edit the vivo_home_dir/config/runtime.properties file in your VIVO home directory:
  
  • 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
