[EP-tech] Re: How-to Multi-Language Guide

Hi,

As far as I know there are no guides about this.

In a nutshell:

1- Edit archives/<id>/cfg/cfg.d/languages.pl - for example add French:

$c->{defaultlanguage} = 'en';

$c->{languages} = [ 'en', 'fr' ];

2- If you want different site templates for the English and French versions, those will be located there:

archives/<id>/cfg/lang/<lang code>/templates/

3- Different front pages and generally static pages will be there:

archives/<id>/cfg/lang/<lang code>/static/

4- You may put your translation of the phrases in French to (see the English phrases there: lib/lang/en/phrases/system.xml):

archives/<id>/cfg/lang/fr/phrases/system.xml

Once you've done change #1 and restarted Apache, I think that EPrints take care of the language management itself (there should be flags appearing on the top bar, and the language selection's done via CGI+Cookies).

I think that's about it :-)

Seb.

Hi, all!

 

We’re just upgrading our existing EPrints instance from version 3.0.1 to  3.3.7 (or later). We decided to build our new EPrints server from scratch

providing a new multi language environment.

 

Is there a comprehensive How-to Guide available, which describes the process of making such a language environment step-by-step?

 

Being thankful for any hint.

 

Best regards,

Thomas Mikulka
