VIVO-languages

Files required for displaying the VIVO user interface in different natural languages, including American English.

Available language files

At present, VIVO 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 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.

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, 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 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.

If you create a translation, please consider contributing your language files to the VIVO community.
