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.

93<i>(Oct 26)</i> Building collections on a remote Greenstone server<br />
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.

127_t5_ {
128One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
129configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it,
130several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a
131href="http://nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a> which explain, on the collection home page, just how they have been put together.

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
153digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's project members.

966_t281_ {
967English, French, Spanish, and Russian are Greenstone core languages. For
968these there is a full translation, including interface, documentation,
969sample collections, installation instructions. They have been produced in
970conjunction with UNESCO and are distributed with all versions of
971Greenstone, including the CD-ROM version. They are updated whenever the
972CD-ROM is re-issued (so far, approximately once a year).
973}
974
975_t282_ {Full translation}
976
977_t283_ {
978Full translations of Greenstone include the interface and all the
979documentation. Translating the documentation is a big job, and so far,
980apart from the UNESCO-supported CD-ROM project, there is only one example
981-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.
982}
983
984_t284_ {Maintained interface-only translation}
985
986_t285_ {
987"Maintained" translations include the language interface and a
988designated person who updates it. The Greenstone interface has been
989translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
990interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
991each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
992periodically maintain the interface for that language.
993}
994
995_t286_ {Unmaintained interface-only translation}
996
997_t287_ {
998The interface comes in two parts: a "core" part that contains the
999basic digital library interface, and an "auxiliary" part that
1000concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
1001maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
1002interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
1003slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained
1004translations are rather out of date.

1006
1007_t288_ {In progress}
1008
1009_t289_ {For some languages, the translation process is still in progress.}
1010
1011_t290_ {
1012When you download Greenstone, the core language interfaces (English,
1013French, Spanish and Russian) come automatically. The other languages are
1014provided in a separate package which can be <a
1015href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=173035">downloaded</a>
1016and installed as required. This makes the downloads smaller, and for those
1017who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and
1018faster.

1150There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart

1152}
1153
1154_t327_ {Spreadsheet}
1155
1156_t328_ {
1157We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1158strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1159it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1160large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.
1161}
1162
1163_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1164
1165_t330_ {
1166The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1167English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1168the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1169appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1170strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1171language interface.
1172}
1173
1174_t331_ {
1175Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1176and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1177either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1178Greenstone language maintainers.

1180
1181_t331extra_ {If you are interested, you can play with
1182an open version of the system by logging into <a

1184username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
1185results.

1189To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a

1198_t333_ {
1199As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1200presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1201have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1202continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1203"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1204you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
1205images are not yet created as you go.)

1211For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
1212Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
1213comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
1214guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
1215Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
