47_t2_ {
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.

121The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
122an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
123functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
124If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
125time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
126Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
127processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
128collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
129of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

149The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
150libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
151digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
152information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
153and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
154world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
155software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
156share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
157can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a

956_t280_ {Core languages}
957
958_t281_ {
959English, French, Spanish, and Russian are Greenstone core languages. For
960these there is a full translation, including interface, documentation,
961sample collections, installation instructions. They have been produced in
962conjunction with UNESCO and are distributed with all versions of
963Greenstone, including the CD-ROM version. They are updated whenever the
964CD-ROM is re-issued (so far, approximately once a year).
965}
966
967_t282_ {Full translation}
968
969_t283_ {
970Full translations of Greenstone include the interface and all the
971documentation. Translating the documentation is a big job, and so far,
972apart from the UNESCO-supported CD-ROM project, there is only one example
973-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.
974}
975
976_t284_ {Maintained interface-only translation}
977
978_t285_ {
979"Maintained" translations include the language interface and a
980designated person who updates it. The Greenstone interface has been
981translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
982interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
983each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
984periodically maintain the interface for that language.
985}
986
987_t286_ {Unmaintained interface-only translation}
988
989_t287_ {
990The interface comes in two parts: a "core" part that contains the
991basic digital library interface, and an "auxiliary" part that
992concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
993maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
994interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
995slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained
996translations are rather out of date.

1000
1001_t289_ {For some languages, the translation process is still in progress.}
1002
1003_t290_ {
1004When you download Greenstone, the core language interfaces (English,
1005French, Spanish and Russian) come automatically. The other languages are
1006provided in a separate package which can be <a
1007href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=173035">downloaded</a>
1008and installed as required. This makes the downloads smaller, and for those
1009who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and
1010faster.

1141_t326_ {
1142There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart
1143from editing the macro files directly, which is not recommended).
1144}
1145
1146_t327_ {Spreadsheet}
1147
1148_t328_ {
1149We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1150strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1151it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1152large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.
1153}
1154
1155_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1156
1157_t330_ {
1158The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1159English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1160the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1161appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1162strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1163language interface.
1164}
1165
1166_t331_ {
1167Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1168and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1169either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1170Greenstone language maintainers.
1171}
1172
1173_t331extra_ {If you are interested, you can play with
1174an open version of the system by logging into <a
1175href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/gti/library">this page</a> with
1176username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
1177results.

1181To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a

1189
1190_t333_ {
1191As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1192presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1193have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1194continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1195"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1196you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
1197images are not yet created as you go.)

1203For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
1204Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
1205comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
1206guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
1207Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
