Hi all,

after my successful installation of DSpace my first configuration step 
should be the internationalisation of the site. German and English is my 
first aim. But it would be nice to have all available localisations of 
DSpace also available at our site. Unfortunately the Wiki provides some 
resources regarding i18n, but no "how-to". Even the official 
documentation is somewhat nebulous about it. At
https://eldorado.uni-dortmund.de/bitstream/2003/23572/11/customizationDSpace.pdf
I found something like a how-to, but I did not succeed with it.

Thats what I did:
1. Installing the Java Standard Tag Library 1.0 (using the Ubuntu 
package libcommons-jexl-java)
2. Downloading the language packs 
(http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dspace/dspace-language-pack-1_4_2.tgz)
3. Downloading additional German sources 
(http://wiki.dspace.org/static_files/7/79/German.zip)
4. >cp Messages_*.properties [dspace-src]/language-packs/
5. >cp *_de [dspace-src]/config/emails/ (email files from German.zip)
6. Copied default_de.license, input-forms_de.xml, news-side_de.html, 
news-top_de.html to [dspace-src]/config/ (other files from German.zip)
7. "Announcing" the changes to DSpace and Tomcat:
 >cd [dspace-src]
 >ant init_configs
 >sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop
 >sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start

But there are no changes on the Website, even my browser have 'de' as 
preferred language.

Thanks for any suggestions...

Best regards

Robert
