This is the application that serves the vocabulary terms in the rightsstatements.org data model. For background information, see the Requirements for the Technical Infrastructure for Standardized International Rights Statements white paper.
Clone this repository
$ git clone git@github.com:rightsstatements/rights-app.git && cd rights-app
rights-app is built with Play Framework 2.4.3 so you need to make sure to have the Java 8 JDK and sbt installed. Then
$ sbt run
and visit http://localhost:9000.
Transifex is used to carry out translations of the app. The relevant resource is tagged with the category rights-app. Please get in touch with the maintainers to add a new language to the project.
To incorporate updates or new translations, install tx. Unicode-only characters in the translated strings will need to be converted to ASCII for the application to support them. Also, single quotes will need to be escaped. For convenience, the updateI18n.sh script performs this functionality for you. Arguments provided to the script are passed to tx pull. To update every language, you can execute
$ ./updateI18n.sh -f -a
and to add or update specific languages, you can separate them with commas, like so:
$ ./updateI18n.sh -f -l fr,it
If a new translation has been added, enable it by editing the languages.available key in conf/application.conf.
The new version needs to be tagged with git so that it gets recognized as a new release, using a tag that starts with v (e.g. v1.2.7).
