Hello Rajat,
there is an option webui.supported.locales to indicate which locales you
use and depending on the version this will put a language switch to your
UI. Note that there are more than the message catalogues and input
forms, there are the email templates, the help pages etc. to be
tranlated too.
Hope this helps

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.
Regards,
Rajat Gupta

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

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
