Hi Nicholas,
You should be able to update the messages.xml file and place it in:
[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/i18n/messages.xml
(NOTE that by default this full directory path may not exist. If it
doesn't, just create it.)
Then rebuild DSpace ('mvn package' and then 'ant update'), and it should
be automatically applied into your XMLUI webapp.
For more information, see the DSpace Documentation at:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/XMLUI+Configuration+and+Customization#XMLUIConfigurationandCustomization-MultilingualSupport
Good luck! Let us know if you have other questions on this,
- Tim
