Re: [Dspace-tech] Translation of Item Submission forms.

[Andrea Schweer]

Hi, if you want everything in your submission form to be in Arabic only, it should work to just translate all displayed text in input-forms.xml to Arabic. Hopefully this will work even with rtl languages. If you want an English submission form to be shown to some users and an Arabic input form to other users, it's more complicated. I believe this depends on whether you're using XMLUI or JSPUI. In JSPUI, you can create a translated input-forms_ar.xml file and it will be used for people who have set their DSpace language to Arabic. Apparently this doesn't work in XMLUI, but I'm not 100% sure. cheers, Andrea On 28/05/15 21:10, Rajat Gupta wrote: Hello Friends, We are currently translating a dspace instance of Dspace 5.x and have translated most of the content in the message.properties file. We converted English to Arabic using Google and then converted the Arabic to Unicode text using a unicode converter.  Although we converted the whole message.properties file the Item submission form does not seem to show any changes. We found that we have to translate the input forms.xml file.  My questions are   1. whether by translating input forms.xml site our problem will be solved (the input submission forms will come in arabic?) 2. Can I use the Item submissions forms in both English and Arabic language? Thanks in advance.  Regards, Rajat Gupta ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
