48Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
49library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
50publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
51<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
52Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
53<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is <b>open-source,
54multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
55License. Read the <a href="_httppagex_(factsheet)">Greenstone Fact Sheet</a> for more information.

114The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
115an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
116functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
117If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
118time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
119Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
120processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
121collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
122of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

126One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a

128several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a

142The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
143libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
144digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
145information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
146and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
147world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
148software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
149share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
150can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
151digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's project members.

905We do not know what upcoming courses these organizations are scheduling: please contact them directly.
906<p/>
907Alternatively, if your department/organization is willing to organise and fund a Greenstone workshop in your area, we might be able to run it (depending on what other commitments we have). We would require our air travel and basic accomodation to be paid for, and if you're feeling generous, a donation towards our research costs would be appreciated.

920
921_t281_ {
922English, French, Spanish, and Russian are Greenstone core languages. For
923these there is a full translation, including interface, documentation,
924sample collections, installation instructions. They have been produced in
925conjunction with UNESCO and are distributed with all versions of
926Greenstone, including the CD-ROM version. They are updated whenever the
927CD-ROM is re-issued (so far, approximately once a year).
928}
929
930_t282_ {Full translation}
931
932_t283_ {
933Full translations of Greenstone include the interface and all the
934documentation. Translating the documentation is a big job, and so far,
935apart from the UNESCO-supported CD-ROM project, there is only one example
936-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.
937}
938
939_t284_ {Maintained interface-only translation}
940
941_t285_ {
942"Maintained" translations include the language interface and a
943designated person who updates it. The Greenstone interface has been
944translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
945interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
946each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
947periodically maintain the interface for that language.
948}
949
950_t286_ {Unmaintained interface-only translation}
951
952_t287_ {
953The interface comes in two parts: a "core" part that contains the
954basic digital library interface, and an "auxiliary" part that
955concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
956maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
957interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
958slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained
959translations are rather out of date.
960}
961
962_t288_ {In progress}
963
964_t289_ {For some languages, the translation process is still in progress.}
965
966_t290_ {
967When you download Greenstone, the core language interfaces (English,
968French, Spanish and Russian) come automatically. The other languages are
969provided in a separate package which can be <a
970href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=173035">downloaded</a>
971and installed as required. This makes the downloads smaller, and for those
972who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and
973faster.

1100_t326_ {
1101There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart
1102from editing the macro files directly, which is not recommended).
1103}
1104
1105_t327_ {Spreadsheet}
1106
1107_t328_ {
1108We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1109strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1110it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1111large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.
1112}
1113
1114_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1115
1116_t330_ {
1117The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1118English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1119the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1120appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1121strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1122language interface.
1123}
1124
1125_t331_ {
1126Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1127and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1128either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1129Greenstone language maintainers.
1130}
1131
1132_t331extra_ {If you are interested, you can play with
1133an open version of the system by logging into <a
1134href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/gti/library">this page</a> with
1135username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
1136results.
1137}
1138
1139_t332_ {
1140To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a
1141request to Michael Dewsnip (<a
1142href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>). As
1143soon as you receive your password please change it by going to <a
1144href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/gti/library">this page</a>,
1145choosing the administration option, clicking the "change password" option
1146on the left hand side, and following the instructions.
1147}
1148
1149_t333_ {
1150As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1151presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1152have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1153continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1154"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1155you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
1156images are not yet created as you go.)

1159_t334_ {Language-dependent text in Greenstone}
1160
1161_t335_ {
1162For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
1163Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
1164comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
1165guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
1166Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
