The method developed to integrate a new linguistic context into VIVO is an Agile one that involves a development cycle punctuated by evolutionary iterations whose purpose is the introduction of new language into VIVO. Source code control aspects are deliberately not dealt with in this methodology in order to leave each team free to deal with this subject according to the governance rules specific to the institution leading the project.
Development Cycle
The figure below shows the five generic steps in the cycle of integrating a new language into VIVO that are performed at each iteration.
la figure ci-dessous schématise la méthodologie d'intégration de nouveaux langages dans VIVO. The cyclical, incremental and evolutionary methodology allows a segmentation of the tasks to be carried out. From the cyclical point of view, the methodology is segmented in five steps. At each iteration, the five steps punctuate the development cycle. Each iteration targets a specific point to be addressed which is defined in the goal to be reached in the iteration. Si
The figure below shows the five generic steps in the cycle of integrating a new language into VIVO that are performed at each iteration.
Vivo's internationalization process is a five-step cycle:
...
The development of VIVO's internationalization is an iterative process that requires several iterations before full internationalization is achieved. Each iteration runs through the development cycle we discussed earlier. In the following section we will present the different iterations by demonstrating the internationalization of the French Canadian. Each iteration will contain a section describing the purpose of the iteration, a section demonstrating each stage of the development cycle, and in conclusion a summary explaining the highlights of the iteration.

Iteration 1: Initial Start - Preparing and initializing the development environment
Goal:
This itération consists in setting up the software elements necessary to run an VIVO instance on a local host and prepare directories to undertake the task of internationalizing VIVO's content.

1) Start TOMCATAfter making the appropriate configurations move to the TOMCAT executables directory and launch the application. |

2) Monitoring the executionafter running the "taill -f" command you can do ^C to stop the Monitoring |

3) Observing the execution After logging in to VIVO and passing the smocktest you should see a presentation similar to this one. If you don't observe people in the faculties make sure that the example files are copied to the right place as indicated above or that Solr has been started . |

Iteration 2: Creating the directory structure of the target language context
Goal
The objective goal of this iteration is to set up the directory structure to host the files needed to integrate the new linguistic context in VIVO. At the end of the iterations, the execution of VIVO will allow the texts to be presented according to the chosen linguistic context.add the French Canadian linguistic context to the VIVO language selector. This goal includes the sub goal of initiating the implementation of the directory structure necessary to integrate the files needed to manage French Canadian in VIVO.
The entry point of this iteration is step three
Step 3) Searching for the problematic file in the VIVO source code
The first functionality addressed in the internationalization and language management assumed by VIVO's language selector. As shown in the image below, the selector in its current state does not manage French Canadian. This iteration therefore consists in introducing French Canadian into the VIVO language selector.
Step 4) Editing the problematic file
Step 5) If necessary reset the various VIVO's indexes and databases
Step 1) Compile and deploye a new/corrected instance of VIVO and start it
...
Step 2) Running VIVO for testing and/or finding an i18n problem
For this iteration there is nothing to be done at this stage.
Step 3) Searching for the problematic file in the VIVO source code
Step 4) Editing the problematic file
