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.

Bye, Christian
