Dear all,
since version 9.0, VB3 and Semantic Turkey support internationalization.
If anybody is interested in participating as a translator for their own language (or any language they read and write with native proficiency), we would welcome their effort!
Currently, there are two directories of localization files for VocBench: one for the VB3 client and one for Semantic Turkey.
Here they are:
*Semantic Turkey*
https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/semantic-turkey/src/master/l10n/src/main/resources/it/uniroma2/art/semanticturkey/l10n/
*VocBench*
https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/vocbench3/src/master/src/assets/l10n/
Currently, we have mature localizations for:
* English (well, it's the native language for VB)
* Italian (it's the native language for all VB developers :-) )
The candidate contributors can send an email to me, so that I will assign them the localization and reroute to them other contributors for sharing the job.
A localization is being developed for German (thanks to Roland Wingerter @roland-w...@t-online.de ! we just need to reformat according to the proper format). If anybody wants to help (revising it or adding the server) they can contact both me and him for coordination.
China's CAS and CAAS will be helping for Chinese, but work has yet to be started, so if there are other interested contributors, pls let me know, I will put you all in contact.
Indeed, revision for English could be also welcome so even though it's "mature" in terms of coverage, I'm sure there's lot of improvement that can be brought.
Currently, we will work simply on the localization files that are hosted on the GIT repository of the projects. We are not using translation platforms such as transifex, but for the future we plan to host a VocBench instance with a thesaurus holding all translations for.,..the platform itself ;-)
Hope to get tenths of messages of candidate translators! :-),
Armando

Dear Caterina,
sure there is. Thing is..PMKI is still not totally out...well...more or less :-)
I mentioned its existence in a few posts here and there's been a release 1.0, the source code is out : https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/showvoc/, but the official release (with a proper name, as PMKI is the name of the project funding it but is not fully reflecting its characteristics) will be this July.
The name of the platform will be ShowVoc and it will be a publication/browsing companion to VocBench.
For those new to it, the main differences wrt VB will be:
* streamlined interface, focused on content browsing rather than editing
* community contributions, with different ways to contribute content to a ShowVoc installation
* inter-dataset services, such as term search, term translation and alignment browsing, all working on the whole set of hosted datasets (e.g. search returns terms found in all the datasets, alignment browsing shows several interfaces such as graphs and trees for browsing the collection of hosted of datasets, using their linksets as connections).
For those interested in providing localizations for the various languages, here's the directory:
https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/showvoc/src/master/src/assets/l10n/
However, we will provide more insights when the system is finally out and its public site is up,
Kind Regards,
Armando

That's a long story and a long list of names...
Anyway, the idea was to mimic the concept of showcase (even though the real noun position in the composition there is inverted) and to rhyme with...well more to come :-)
