New features
Internationalization/localization
Translation hooks have been added to the Archivematica user interface, the Storage Service, the documentation, and the Archivematica website. This work will support the translation of those resources into many languages through Artefactual's current localization platform, Transifex. Note that translation hooks for Archivematica workflow components (microservice names, job names, and drop-down options) will be added in Archivematica 1.8.
Sponsored by the Canadian Council of Archives. Thank you!
NOTE: this work prepares Archivematica for localization; however, minimal translation has been completed. The interface will default to English at the present time, but can be changed to another language in the Settings menu.
