- Record brief DSpace tutorial videos in your (non-English) native language
- Brief Description: Most DSpace training materials are currently in English. Recording some simple demonstrations and tutorials of DSpace installation/administration/configuration tasks with audio (can be voiceover) in your native language will help lower the barrier to entry for non-English-speakers who want to see some demonstrations.
- Skills: Good English, fluent in language you wish to record in
- Estimated Duration: ?Contact:
- Contacts:
- Mandarin: Kim (as well as my basic knowledge, I have two co-workers who are native speakers and DSpace admins, and can review the audio track with me)
- Add your "language: name" here to be a contact for a specific language
- Notes: We should split this into multiple tasks by choosing a selection of languages, eg: Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, so that a student can just select the task that suits them, and still leave other training video tasks for other students. Community members who can help review audio should add their names as contacts and specify the language
Translation
- Translate DSpace into your own native language
- Brief Description: DSpace is fully 'internationalized' and supports language packs to enable DSpace user interfaces to be shown in different languages. DSpace has already been translated into several languages, but if you natively speak a different language and can translate from one of the current languages, then you can select this task to perform the translation.
- Skills: Translation, written English, a high level of competency in another language
- Estimated duration: 10 hours per interface (XMLUI or JSPUI). One language for one interface counts as a single task. Translating the software for both user interfaces would count as two tasks.
- Contact: Various
- Notes: We can create tasks for each language that has not yet been translated, so please contact us if you wish to undertake this task.
