Introduction

Prior to DSpace 7, the DSpace XML and JSP User interfaces had different catalogs of interface messages. Unified on a single user interface, the DSpace community is transitioning to a widely adopted web standard for the translation of interface messages.

Originating in the Linux world, the GNU gettext tools and the PO file format is also the backbone of localization support in Wordpress, django and Drupal

The DSpace community is actively seeking contributors to aid in the translation of DSpace interface messages, to ensure that DSpace 7 can benefit from the most extensive localization support in the history of the project.

Getting started

Contributing to translations requires a Github and a DuraSpace wiki account. Head over to www.github.com to create a free Github account.

Accounts for the DuraSpace wiki are free as well and can be requested in an email to sysadmin@duraspace.org, indicating that you wish to contribute to DSpace 7 Translations.

Make yourself familiar with the new .pot catalog of DSpace messages,
