Need Installation Documentation (anything would help)

[david-lareau-nrc]

the README.md says "API Documentation for deploying language files is still under development". Any example would be greatly appreciated.

After reading the documentation at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/config.html
I tried the following but I get a server internal error.

My version of dataverse is v. 4.14 build 1326-57a392d

Step 1)

curl http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:Languages -X PUT -d '[{  "locale":"en", "title":"English"},  {  "locale":"fr", "title":"Français"}]'

I can now see the toggle button in the navbar (though it is not functional yet).

Step 2)

cd /var/www/dataverse
git clone https://github.com/GlobalDataverseCommunityConsortium/dataverse-language-packs.git
git checkout --track origin/dataverse-v4.14
./asadmin create-jvm-options '-Ddataverse.lang.directory=/var/www/dataverse/dataverse-language-packs'

When loading any page I get
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name Bundle, locale en

I verified that all permissions are indeed rwxr-xr-x. Anything obvious that I'm doing wrong? Do I have to move the language pack in docroot of glasshfish?

Just saw that the opened issue "How to Help Translate Dataverse Into Your Language" is more about how to install than translate, so my question is a dupe. Closing.

@david-lareau-nrc - Please find the config documentation in develop branch:

@david-lareau-nrc, thanks for trying this functionality! We're going to try Weblate localization tool to keep all language packages up-to-date.

We at Scholars Portal are testing translations management with Weblate and Mojito, just testing which one is easier to use and integrate with the workflow. we have local installations of both.

[4tikhonov]

@bikramj, great to hear! Can you share your insights which one is easier?

[bikramj]

@4tikhonov, Mojito is really simple to install and use whereas Weblate offers a lot more functionality. I am still testing Weblate and will post my findings here in few days.

@david-lareau-nrc actually my intended audience for #10 was translators so I do think we should consider either reopening this issue for a sysadmin audience. (I don't have the power to reopen issues here.)

@bikramj do you still want to use https://jenkins.dataverse.org for anything? All the config is at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-jenkins and I'm happy to work with you and others to add as many jobs as we need. I just made a similar offer to @4tikhonov over at #26 (comment) (about Weblate, by the way).

I am still testing Weblate and will post my findings here in few days.

A dedicated issue about Weblate might be nice. I imagine that both audiences I'm talking about (translators and sysadmins) would be interested in the percentage translation of their languages of interest.
