Translate EPrints into your language

A number of translations for EPrints v2 exist on http://files.eprints.org/ but these need updating for EPrints 3. Contact cjg@ecs.soton.ac.uk for advice on how to cut some corners (a good number of phrases remain unchanged from EPrints 2 so that should reduce effort. Contact us if you want a copy of the EPrints 3 phrases with as many as possible pre-translated using EPrints 2 data.

How to add your Translation

If you have translated eprints into a new language please package up the translated files with a file containing the GPL license called COPYING, and a file called COPYRIGHT which describes who owns the copyright of the translation (this may be important if we choose to package translations in the core, later).

You may also wish to add a README file adding additional details such as which files (if not all) were translated.

These files (just those you have translated, not all!) should be stored in a .tgz archive, with a name in this format:

eprints-2.3.4-translation-fr.tgz

To add the file, register on the EPrints Files repository - EPrints users should already know the rest!
