More that the level of internationalization of each LA module code, this is a list of known enhancement and bug issues related with i18n in LA software:

  • It seems that right-to-left languages are not supported right now, so LA needs some basic patching to support it.
  • For now, spatial only works well with ISO-8859-1 layers. See this thread for a summary of next development steps.
  • There are some UTF-8 encoding issues in mysql databases (in CAS and specieslists). For new developments this should be fixed thanks to this PR, but if you deployed your mysql DBs previously to this PR you can be affected.
  • There are several tasks to improve the internationalization of ALA. For instance the use of the ala-i18n debian package and this related PRs. As soon as these PRs are merged, released and deployed the internationalization of ALA to new languages or of ALA will be quite straightforward and automatized.
  • It seems that all properties should be in ISO-8859-1 with java < 9. This affects to i18n properties but also to properties configs. So /data/*/config/*properties should be iso-8859-1 if, for instance, your Organization Name has non latin characters. See this PR.

Many of these i18n functionalities are not necessary per se for ALA node so PRs and translations from other countries with these necessities are welcome.
