Vitro-languages
===============

Files that enable Vitro (and by extension, VIVO) to operate in languages beyond American English.
Files required for displaying the Vitro (and by extension, VIVO) user interface
in different natural languages, including American English.

Available language files
------------------------

At present, VIVO has been translated into German, Spanish, and Portuguese. You may find the relevant files for each language by searching for files containing _de_DE, _es, and _pt_BR respectively. English uses the prefix _en_US.
At present, Vitro has been translated into American English (en_US),
Canadian English (en_CA), Canadian French (fr_CA), German (de_DE),
Spanish (es), and Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR). Each available
language has its own top-level directory in this repository.

Using the language files
------------------------

If the files you want already exist here, you can add them to your VIVO instance by
following the instructions in the VIVO wiki for [Adding a language to VIVO][1].
If a directory for a language you want to use already exists here, you can
enable this language in your Vitro/VIVO instance by following the instructions
in the VIVO wiki for [Adding a language to VIVO][1].

If the files for your desired language do not exist then you may use the files in this repository as a
starting point for doing the translations yourself. Search for the required files for any of the language prefixes above (e.g. _en_US), copy the files, and rename your new files using the appropriate language code [prefix][2]. Please send a note to [the VIVO Tech group][3]
to find out if someone else is already working on a translation.
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.
