Hi Edwin,

About Koha, all the translation is made on the community translation 
website : http://translate.koha-community.org/es/18.05/


=> the spanish is 100% translated in the most recent version.

Note that the translation manager is a spanish speaking guy, Bernardo, 
from Argentina.


I'm sure he'll be happy to answer any question : Bernardo Gonzalez 
Kriegel, his email being : bgkriegel, gmail.com

Hi Edwin, I have been using Koha in Spanish for a long time, but I did make 
some code changes, since the opac works pretty well with some exceptions the 
intranet is really not that case, the administrator is not a Spanish based 
system, so you will be facing a big time challenge there. My Koha is an old 
version and I haven’t been able to upgrade so I could not talk about the most 
newer versions.

[CODE4LIB] DSpace Direct and SSL certificates

[Tom Keays]

MPOW is considering DSpace Direct as a way to host an Institutional
Repository. They have a Custom URL Package as an addon --
https://duraspace.org/dspacedirect/plans/add-on-packages/ -- but the short
description says nothing about what sorts of SSL certificates they accept.

Does anyone know if they accept Let's Encrypt SSL certificates (or another
free certificate provider) and have a process in place to do the 6 month
certificate renewal automatically? I have asked this question directly with
the vendor, but haven't heard back.

Thanks,
Tom
