accessible to everyone. When users do not\n\nsufficiently share the language of a repository's interface, content can become difficult or even impossible to\n\nfind, despite being present in the system. In addition to translation, technical details such as search\n\nconfiguration, character handling, and interface layout can have a major impact on how well a repository\n\nworks for different languages.\n\nBecause most DSpace development happens in English-speaking environments, language-related challenges\n\noutside that context are often underestimated. Over time, DSpace has added support for many interface\n\nlanguages, which can give the impression that multilingual support works flawlessly out of the box. In\n\npractice, many institutions still struggle\u2014especially when working with non-Latin alphabets, right-to-left\n\nlanguages such as Arabic or Hebrew, or combinations of multiple languages.\n\nThis presentation looks at common multilingual scenarios in DSpace, from adding a single non-English\n\nlanguage to supporting multiple languages with different writing directions. Using real-world examples, it\n\nhighlights frequently overlooked issues around search configuration, language-specific behaviour, interface\n\nrendering, and metadata. While the topic is technical by nature, the focus is on clear explanations that are\n\naccessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.", "languages": [ { "id": "eng", "title": { "en": "English" } } ], "publication_date": "2026-06-09", "publisher": "Zenodo", "related_identifiers": [ { "identifier": "10.5281/zenodo.20778604", "relation_type": { "id": "haspart", "title": { "de": "Umfasst folgenden Teil", "en": "Has part" } }, "scheme": "doi" } ], "resource_type": { "id": "presentation", "title": { "de": "Pr\u00e4sentation", "en": "Presentation" } }, "rights": [ { "description": { "en": "The Creative Commons Attribution license allows re-distribution and re-use of a licensed work on the condition that the creator is appropriately credited." }, "icon": "cc-by-icon", "id": "cc-by-4.0", "props": { "scheme": "spdx", "url": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode" }, "title": { "en": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International" } } ], "subjects": [ { "subject": "OR2026" }, { "subject": "DSpace" }, { "subject": "user interface" }, { "subject": "internationalization" } ], "title": "Non-English DSpace user interfaces: Common pitfalls and how to avoid them" }, "parent": { "access": { "owned_by": { "user": "571832" }, "settings": { "accept_conditions_text": null, "allow_guest_requests": false, "allow_user_requests": false, "secret_link_expiration": 0 } }, "communities": { "default": "5ef6739c-2013-453c-9820-05a3d897bd62", "entries": [ { "access": { "member_policy": "open", "members_visibility": "public", "record_submission_policy": "closed", "review_policy": "open", "visibility": "public" }, "children": { "allow": false }, "created": "2019-11-14T08:07:26.810144+00:00", "custom_fields": {}, "deletion_status": { "is_deleted": false, "status": "P" }, "id": "5ef6739c-2013-453c-9820-05a3d897bd62", "links": {}, "metadata": { "curation_policy": "
