VIVO Language Support

...

Multiple language support can mean many things. When a VIVO site supports a language other than English, that support includes:

...

• Phase 1 includes read-only support of public pages:
  
  • Pages that are visible to users who are not logged in.
  • Also includes support of some administrative pages.
  • This is currently available.
• Phase 2 will also provide read-write support of profile pages:
  • Users will be able to edit language-specific data in profile pages.
• Phase 3 will support administrative pages
  • Creating user accounts, manipulating RDF data and other administrative functions.
• Phase 4 will support "back-end" pages.
  • Used to edit the ontology, or to do low-level editing on individual entities.

Currently, VIVO language files are available for English and Spanish, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and German. If you need support for another language, please inquire of the VIVO Implementation mailing listlists, to see if another group is already developing the files you need.

If you have a particular use case, or if you would be willing to assist in translating, please contact the VIVO development team.

VIVO is distributed with English as the only supported language. VIVO also includes a set of VIVO is distributed with English as the only supported language. Releases 1.6 and 1.7 also included a set of "pseudo-language" files, as a demonstration of how language support is implemented.

Additional language files are available in the Git repositories at https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro-languages and https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO-languages.

If the repository contains files for the language you want, in the VIVO release that you are using, you can just download those files and install them, as described in the Installing VIVO release 1.8.1.

Updating languages files for a newer release

If the language you want has been implemented for VIVO, but is not available for the release that you want, you can adapt the existing language files for the newer release.

Perhaps of more importance, you can submit these updated language files to the VIVO community for others to use.
