Hi Christos: I have a rough version of the multilingualism patch for 1.4.2 that I could send to you to try out; if it works for you then I could attach it to the patch queue. The multilingualism support has been merged into the 1.5 branch of DSpace, but that release is still in the process of stabilizing. Claudia's addition to the README that formed part of the 1.4.1 patch does a good job of explaining what the patch changes. The i18n section of the DSpace wiki (http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/I18nSupport) may also be helpful for you. Note that there are still a number of significant problems that will not be resolved by this patch, such as no support for multilingual community / collection names (causes problems for sorting community and collection names), no support for multilingual community / collection descriptions, etc. Past discussions have suggested that the developers want to refactor the database schema to store all text in a multilingual properties table. However, thus far I haven't seen anything in 1.5 that moves towards that direction. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
