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.

94This scheme allows users to augment and edit collections that are held on a remote Greenstone server. Users work with a modified version of the Greenstone Librarian Interface but do not need to have Greenstone running locally. Multiple users can collaborate on the same collection (though not at the same time). <a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~mdewsnip/greenstone/west-yorkshire/remote-greenstone.html">Here</a> are details of an experimental version that you can download (<a href="http://tramullas.com/greenstone/gsdlremoto.pdf">En Español</a>).

116The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
117an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
118functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
119If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
120time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
121Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
122processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
123collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
124of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

128One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a

144The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
145libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
146digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
147information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
148and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
149world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
150software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
151share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
152can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a

958_t280_ {Core languages}
959
960_t281_ {
961English, French, Spanish, and Russian are Greenstone core languages. For
962these there is a full translation, including interface, documentation,
963sample collections, installation instructions. They have been produced in
964conjunction with UNESCO and are distributed with all versions of
965Greenstone, including the CD-ROM version. They are updated whenever the
966CD-ROM is re-issued (so far, approximately once a year).
967}
968
969_t282_ {Full translation}
970
971_t283_ {
972Full translations of Greenstone include the interface and all the
973documentation. Translating the documentation is a big job, and so far,
974apart from the UNESCO-supported CD-ROM project, there is only one example
975-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.
976}
977
978_t284_ {Maintained interface-only translation}
979
980_t285_ {
981"Maintained" translations include the language interface and a
982designated person who updates it. The Greenstone interface has been
983translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
984interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
985each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
986periodically maintain the interface for that language.
987}
988
989_t286_ {Unmaintained interface-only translation}
990
991_t287_ {
992The interface comes in two parts: a "core" part that contains the
993basic digital library interface, and an "auxiliary" part that
994concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
995maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
996interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
997slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained
998translations are rather out of date.

1003_t289_ {For some languages, the translation process is still in progress.}
1004
1005_t290_ {
1006When you download Greenstone, the core language interfaces (English,
1007French, Spanish and Russian) come automatically. The other languages are
1008provided in a separate package which can be <a
1009href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=173035">downloaded</a>
1010and installed as required. This makes the downloads smaller, and for those
1011who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and
1012faster.

1143_t326_ {
1144There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart
1145from editing the macro files directly, which is not recommended).
1146}
1147
1148_t327_ {Spreadsheet}
1149
1150_t328_ {
1151We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1152strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1153it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1154large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.
1155}
1156
1157_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1158
1159_t330_ {
1160The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1161English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1162the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1163appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1164strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1165language interface.
1166}
1167
1168_t331_ {
1169Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1170and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1171either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1172Greenstone language maintainers.
1173}
1174
1175_t331extra_ {If you are interested, you can play with
1176an open version of the system by logging into <a
1177href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/gti/library">this page</a> with
1178username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
1179results.

1183To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a
1184request to Michael Dewsnip (<a

1186soon as you receive your password please change it by going to <a

1188choosing the administration option, clicking the "change password" option
1189on the left hand side, and following the instructions.

1191
1192_t333_ {
1193As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1194presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1195have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1196continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1197"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1198you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
1199images are not yet created as you go.)

1203
1204_t335_ {
1205For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
1206Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
1207comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
1208guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
1209Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
