[Dspace-general] DSpace 1.4.2 beta released

[Halley Pacheco de Oliveira]

Hi,

I haven't finished to translate the Messages.properties file into
Messages_pt_BR.properties file for DSpace 1.4.1 yet, and there is a
new Messages.properties file for DSpace 1.4.2.

In this case there will be no problems, because the only difference is
on the line jsp.layout.footer-default.text as shown by the diff
program, but I would like to know if there is a tool to update the
Messages_pt_BR.properties file to a new version of DSpace, preserving
the already translated messages, and adding the new untranslated
messages. Maybe this tool will help me in a future version.

Also, in my opinion, it would be good to add pt and pt_BR to the
section <value-pairs value-pairs-name="common_iso_languages"
dc-term="language_iso"> of file input-forms.xml, as I did when
customizing this file.

     <pair>
       <displayed-value>Portuguese (Brazil)</displayed-value>
       <stored-value>pt_BR</stored-value>
      </pair>

     <pair>
       <displayed-value>Portuguese</displayed-value>
       <stored-value>pt</stored-value>
      </pair>

Thank you,
Halley

P.S.: Everyone I have shown DSpace in Câmara Municipal do Rio de
Janeiro liked it. Probably we will soon be a new user of DSpace, but
initially only in the Intranet.
