[Dspace-general] how to do multi language in DSpace

[Mark Diggory]

Follow the details on installing the language packs in DSpace,

http://wiki.dspace.org/I18nSupport
http://dspace.cvs.sourceforge.net/dspace/language-packs/readme.txt? 
revision=1.1.1.1&view=markup


The trick these sites employ to allow language switching is to use  
javascript to change the locale of the page being requested:


                     <a class ="langChangeOn"
                         
onclick="javascript:document.repost.locale.value='en';
                        document.repost.submit();">

                     Englisch
                     </a> &nbsp;

                     <a class ="langChangeOn"
                         
onclick="javascript:document.repost.locale.value='de';
                        document.repost.submit();">
                     Deutsch
                     </a> &nbsp;'

Cheers,
