DSpace XMLUI Language Packs

Layout of the source tree

The messages.xml files for each language are stored in the src/main/webapp/i18n/ directory.

The file naming conventions are as follows:

messages_<ISO 639-1>_<ISO 3166-1>.xml

  • ISO 639-1: language code, in lower case.
  • ISO 3166-1: codes for country, if required. For example:

For example:

  • src/main/webapp/i18n/
    • messages.xml - file for default (English)
    • messages_el.xml - file for Greek
    • messages_fr_FR.xml - file for French (France)
    • messages_fr_CA.xml - file for French (Canada)

More information on the format of these messages.xml files can be found in the Apache Cocoon documentation at https://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/i18nTransformer.html

Release tags

Language packs are versioned according to the main DSpace version, but also include an incrementing sequence-number which allows language packs to be updated more frequently than DSpace releases.

So, DSpace software releases are of the format: [major].[minor] (e.g. 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, etc.)

Whereas, DSpace language packs use the format: [major].[minor].[sequence-number] (e.g. 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2 for 5.0 releases of the language packs).

Language packs are automatically installed into DSpace via Maven dependencies. In the case of the XMLUI language packs, they are installed as a WAR (e.g. dspace-xmlui-lang-[version].war) dependency.
