Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a Janeway Repository Admin, I would like to support author submissions of preprints in multiple languages.
Describe the solution you'd like
Must haves:
- Add to Repository Wizard or Repository Settings an option to select languages the Repository accepts, sourced from ISO 639-1
- Add to the Repository Wizard/Settings an option to set the primary language of the Repository, sourced from ISO 639-1
- Add to the submission workflow (first page) a single drop-box or list of tick-boxes for authors to choose the language of the preprint, based on the selections in the Repository Settings
Would be nice to have:
- Add to the Repository Wizard or Repository Settings two tick box options for Admin to allow:
i. Translated title
ii. Translated abstract - When ticked, the above fields should be displayed on the submission form as optional boxes.
