Hello, 

just to second that community/collection localization in standard DSpace 
would be most useful feature for non-English users so it's good to hear 
that https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1464 is considered 
for 7.x roadmap. 

At University of Jyväskylä localization for community/collection names 
and descriptions was implemented with our earlier installation (1.7, 
XMLUI) as early as in 2011. The approach was based by overriding XSL 
transforms that showed community/collection names (e.g. templates like 
collectionDetailList-DIM, communitySummaryList-DIM, 
collectionDetailView-DIM, dri:trail), translations were read from 
external XML file (since localizations were not yet as pert of 
community/collection metadata). 

Regardless of the framework used (unfortunately I'm not yet familiar 
with Angular UI), with the current data model the language information 
in community and collection metadata should be used directly instead of 
parsing delimiters, provided that sufficient editing form for different 
languages can be used, or imported from external source, e.g. using REST. 


Best regards,

As we're in the process of migrating our English & French instance from 
DSpace 6 to 7, I was a bit surprised to see that there still isn't 
out-of-the-box support for multilingual communities and collections pages. 

This pull request for DSpace Angular 
(https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/3078), in conjunction with 
this pull request for the REST API 
(https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/9610), appears to address the 
feature requirements.

The pull requests missed the DSpace 8 release but hopefully they can be 
reviewed and merged as a feature for an upcoming release!
