Referring to "Authors" and Other Contributors within DSpace Interface

[Peter]

Hello,

In DSpace, the "author" label is used in multiple places, such as in "browsing/filtering by author", even though we might actually be listing names of not only authors but also other contributors. We can edit the labels in the configuration files, but perhaps this should be set up as "contributors" instead of "authors" by default?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Almost* all text in the DSpace User Interface can be found in the translation/internationalization files in the "src/assets/i18n" folder: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/tree/main/src/assets/i18n

This means that you can easily make bulk changes across the English file (en.json5) as you see fit.

(* I said "Almost" because we do occasionally find areas where English text is wrongly hardcoded. These would be considered bugs, as the goal is that all text should be translatable.)
