-----------------------------------
Hi Stuart,
the issues mostly occur, on a default instance with no specific supported
locale setting, where the language selection relies on the browsers setting.
(the examples were tested on Firefox 3.5.7)
a) mixed labels in item display
in order to reproduce it just set your browser to non-en language and open an
item in your test instance, e.g..
http://testathon.net/jspui/handle/123456789/178
The default item display will show mixed metadata labels.
b) changing language
Choose e.g. French as the browsers preferred language. This got no effect.
Everything is displayed in en.
Log in to your instance and then log out.
The language will change from en to the browsers pref settings.
Choose Browse by Date now, the language will change to en again.
The switching of language occurs in several places and with different browsers,
but it varies from browser to browser
The behaviour is more stable, if you really enable multiple locales in the
dspace.cfg.
Apart from this error I wonder whether we should supply other languages by
default, rather than making it an active configuration step to enable them.
Most of the translations of the lang jars do not complie to the version they
are used for. Furthermore most instances will customize their message files and
usually only customize the language(s) needed. They are not aware that other
languages will be supplied too.
Have a sunny day

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JSPUI
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0

> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
>
> The i18n of the jspui is broken. Regardless of enabling multiple language or
> not, the language chosen or set by browser or user preferences is partially
> neglected. This varies between different pages or even within one page,
> showing mixed language tags, e.g. in the default item display. Navigating
> from one page to another can cause the language displayed to be changed. This
> behavior appears in different browsers, but with variations from browser to
> browser.
