Thanks Andrea! Yes, as you correctly mentioned, input forms_ar.xml might give me the input submission form in arabic. But what if I want to switch from English to Arabic and back?
How can I customize my dspace so that I can go back and forth from English to Arabic and have my Input forms in both languages. Right now I am working on JSPUI so if a solution is available in JSPUI, that is best but I am also open to working on XMLUI if that is what takes me to my desired goal.
