How to change the default language?

[Natalia Queiroz]

Hi group,

I want to change the default language (us) to Portuguese (pt_BR).

How is that possible?

Thanks,

Are you using XMLUI? There’s some information at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/XMLUI+Configuration+and+Customization#XMLUIConfigurationandCustomization-MultilingualSupport – it says that “To set a language other than English as the default language for the repository's interface, you can simply rename the translation catalogue for the new default language to "messages.xml".” (though you may also need to rebuild DSpace? And I’d save a copy of messages.xml first as messages_en.xml)

Since Brazilian Portuguese is one of the supported languages, all you
should need to do is set the default locale configuration option to
pt_BR. This is done in dspace.cfg; the exact line depends on your
version of DSpace, but it looks like this:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L1363

This is documented here (for DSpace 5.x):

cheers,
Andrea

Hello Natalia,

there is a setting

default.language

in the dspace.cfg.
This sets the language which is used as the metadata language qualifier.

The setting for determing the language of the Webui etc. are

default.locale
webui.supported.locales

and depend on the language catalogues already provided. You can overlay
the language catalogue to customize it.

Hope this helps

From your screenshot, you're using JSPUI. This means you can use the
mechanism described here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Localization+L10n#LocalizationL10n-Localizationofinput-forms.xmlandlicense.default
to create an input-forms_pt_BR.xml file where you translate the relevant
bits.

I don't read Portuguese, but it appears that this page here may have
some useful information for the submission form:

Hi Natalia,

there are more places than the message catalogue, during submissions the
input forms are used see:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Localization+L10n#LocalizationL10n-Localizationofinput-forms.xmlandlicense.default

and there are email templates and so on.

Hope this helps

Hello Andrea, thanks again for your help :)

I need that the Portuguese language show up on the field Language, how is that possible?

<input-type value-pairs-name="common_iso_languages">dropdown</input-type>

Thanks,

You'll need to find the section common_iso_languages towards the bottom
of the input-forms.xml file. It starts like this:
<value-pairs value-pairs-name="common_iso_languages"
dc-term="language_iso">

Add a line for Portuguese -- at the same time, you can (but you don't
have to) remove any languages listed there that aren't used in your
repository. The order of languages in the file is the same order that
will be used for the selection list on the submission screen.

For each language in the list, there is an entry like so:

<pair>
<displayed-value>English (United States)</displayed-value>
<stored-value>en_US</stored-value>
</pair>

So just add eg:

<pair>
<displayed-value>Português brasileiro</displayed-value>
<stored-value>pt_BR</stored-value>
</pair>

and/or without the country variant:

<pair>
<displayed-value>Português</displayed-value>
<stored-value>pt</stored-value>
</pair>

(Apologies if I got the Portuguese language names wrong, I'm sure you
get the picture)
