Hello, I am struggling again with my biggest enemy in DSpace, Localization.
We did an extremely minor change in our DSpace instance: We exchanged one sidebarFacet for another, modifying the file config/spring/discovery/spring-dspace-addon-discovery-configuration-services.xml as explained sufficiently in <https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Discovery#Discovery-SidebarFacetCustomization> However, after restarting tomcat, I get an ugly empty string placeholder xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.AdvancedSearch.type_place which ends in the index_FieldName of my newly created Facet. I found similar strings in my running instance webapp directory file i18n/messages_de.xml, but adding a corresponding string there did not work as a quick fix. I found similar strings inside my source directory in these files: dspace-discovery/dspace-discovery-xmlui-api/src/main/resources/aspects/Discovery/i18n/messages.xml and in dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/i18n/messages.xml I will have to try and change and compile and hope not crash everything. And there might be interdependencies, such as I have to add the string to the api aspect in english first, then adding it to the xmlui webapp to actually see the change. Or I throw it in everywhere at the same time, hoping that it will work somehow and carrying along useless modifications with me in the future. I think this is a rather timeconsuming process for a very lowlevel customization. half a day for a simple interface tweak, hardly acceptable. The short and understandable paragraph in the Documentation encourages such a change, leaving alone the user when only half way done. Sorry for the rant.
