Dear Nicolas,
Thanks so much for the detailed reply, but this isn't working for me!
As you said, there was no Messages.properties file in the dspace source
folder, so I downloaded it from
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/resources/Messages.properties(Since
I couldn't find an english version at the link suggested by you).
I then added messages such as itemlist.hmo.title = Title and
metadata.hmo.title = Title. I then saved the file in dspace-3.1-
release/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/resources/. (There was no 'resources'
folder inside the 'main' folder, so I created it and put the
Messages.properties file in there.)
I then ran mvn package and ant update, restarted tomcat and tried again,
but I still see ???itemlist.hmo.title???.
Is there anything else that might be wrong?
Thanks Again!
Srijan
