Make yourself familiar with the new .pot catalog of DSpace messages,  as well the .po file format with the translations for the catalog.

• 2019-05-20 DRAFT dspace.pot
  • In this catalog, all msgstr entries are empty. This is because the catalog is the authoritative place for the original keys, not for any translations.
  • the English messages ARE they keys. There is no intermediate concept of opaque keys anymore. The English messages are used throughout the code, and are the basis for providing the translations.
• 2019-05-20 DRAFT en.po or the older DRAFT de.po
  • Both the msgids and the msgstr entries are in English in en.po.
  • The msgids are in English, and the msgstr are in German in de.po
  • Purely as comment, the old intermediate keys are still referenced in comments

2019-05-20 State of development

As part of preview release 1, the developers are still using en.json catalogs. Once Pull Request 366 is accepted, the migration to the new .POT and .PO standard files will be official.

As long as DSpace 7 is still in development, it is expected that the dspace.pot catalog, as well as the different translations, will continue to be extended and evolved.

Together, we aim to release as many, as complete translations as possible, as part of the official DSpace 7.0 release.
