Files that enable VIVO (supported by Vitro) to operate in languages beyond American English.
The repository is structured this way
- Each top-level directory represents a different release of VIVO.
- Within these, each Second-level directory contains files for a specific language, for that release. These directories are named for the "locale" of the language and region that they represent.
For example, a directory of files for the French language (fr), as used in Belgium (BE), for VIVO release 1.6:
/vivo-1.6/fr_BE/
All members of the core development team speak only American English, so we have produced an example language set that holds the English-language strings in VIVO:
/vivo-1.6/en_US
This set of files is provided as an example, so those who wish to produce a translation may have a template to copy.
Our first translation is in Spanish, contributed by Federico Sancho, of IICA (http://iica.int), as part of a project with eScire (http://escire.mx/). We are very grateful to them for contributing this translation to the VIVO community.
/vivo-1.6/es
If the files you want already exist here, you can add them to your VIVO instance by following the instructions in the VIVO wiki for Adding a language to VIVO.
If the files for your desired language do not exist, then you may use this example as a starting point for doing the translations yourself. Please send a note to the VIVO Tech group, to find out if someone else is already working on a translation.
If you create a translation, please consider contributing your language files to the VIVO community.
