Hi Carolyn, I believe this already exists as of 7.6.1. You can create additional "default.license" files for each language like:
- default_fr.license (French version) - default_de.license (German version) - default.license (Default version, which will be used if no language matches) Then update your supported locales in this setting to list all languages you want to support: webui.supported.locales = en, fr, de That setup should give German and French language files alongside the default English one. This was implemented in this PR (which is where I found those instructions): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8966 Tim On Friday, February 27, 2026 at 12:19:12 PM UTC-6 Carolyn Sullivan wrote: > It also looks like a solution has been created for this problem, given > that this issue has been raised and closed : > https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8882 > > Is that the case?
