-# CollectionBuilder-CSV
+# cb-translate
 
-CollectionBuilder-CSV is a robust and flexible "stand alone" template for creating digital collection and exhibit websites using Jekyll and a metadata CSV.
-Driven by your collection metadata, the template generates engaging visualizations to browse and explore your objects.
-The resulting static site can be hosted on any basic web server (or built automatically using GitHub Actions).
+cb-translate is a prototype template forked from [CollectionBuilder-CSV](https://github.com/CollectionBuilder/collectionbuilder-csv) that aims to add translations for the collection website interface.
 
-Visit the [CollectionBuilder Docs](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/) for step-by-step details for getting started and building collections!
+CB-CSV was originally written in English, but has been manually translated by users into a variety of languages for their local use case. 
+cb-translate will make that process easier by allowing users to configure the site output language in "_config.yml". 
+Translations for the text/labels used in the user interface will be contained in the file "_data/translations.yml". 
+The template uses Liquid variables to put the configured language label into the page.
 
-## Brief Overview of Building a Collection
+This is an active project, so please expect changes!
+Check the "docs/" folder in this repository for details of using the new features.
 
-The [CollectionBuilder Docs](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/) contain detailed information about building a collection from start to finish--including installing software, using Git/GitHub, preparing digital objects, and formatting metadata.
-However, here is a super quick overview of the process:
-
-- Make your own copy of this template repository by clicking the green "Use this Template" button on GitHub (see [repository set up docs](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/docs/repository/)). This copy of the template is the starting point for your "project repository", i.e. the source code for your digital collection site!
-- Prepare your collection metadata following the CB-CSV template (see our demo [metadata template on Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nN_k4JQB4LJraIzns7WcM3OXK-xxGMQhW1shMssflNM/edit?usp=sharing) and [metadata docs](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/docs/metadata/csv_metadata/)). Your metadata will include links to your digital files (images, pdfs, videos, etc) and thumbnails wherever they are hosted.
-- Add your metadata as a CSV to your project repository's "_data" folder (see [upload metadata docs](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/docs/metadata/uploading/)).
-- Edit your project's "_config.yml" with your collection information (see [site configuration docs](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/docs/config/)). Additional customization is done via a theme file, configuration files, CSS tweaks, and more--however, once your "_config.yml" is edited your site is ready to be previewed. 
-- Generate your site using Jekyll! (see docs for how to [use Jekyll locally](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/docs/repository/generate/) and [deploy on the web](https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/docs/deploy/))

-Please feel free to ask questions in the main [CollectionBuilder discussion forum](https://github.com/CollectionBuilder/collectionbuilder.github.io/discussions).
+This prototype starts from the work of @maehr (see [cb-csv 48](https://github.com/CollectionBuilder/collectionbuilder-csv/pull/48)) and @owikle.
