Each available +language has its own top-level directory in this repository. + +Using the language files +------------------------ + +If a directory for a language you want to use already exists here, you can +enable this language in your VIVO instance by following the instructions in the +VIVO wiki for [Adding a language to VIVO][1]. + +If a directory for your desired language does not exist, you may copy one of +the existing directories in this repository to use as a starting point for +doing the translations yourself. Rename your new directory using the appropriate +language code [prefix][2], and also rename the files within the various +levels of subdirectories to end with the appropriate code. Please send a note +to [the VIVO Tech group][3] to find out if someone else is already working on a +translation. Additional information about developing a new translation is +available on the wiki at [Developing a New Interface Language for VIVO][4]. + +If you create a translation, please consider contributing your language files to +the VIVO community. + +[1]: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VIVODOC112x/Internationalization#Internationalization-AddinganexistinglanguagetoyourVIVOsite +[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes +[3]: mailto:vivo-tech@googlegroups.com +[4]: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/VIVODOC112x/Developing+a+New+Interface+Language+for+VIVO
