The RoMEO interface has already been translated into Dutch, and our Dutch partners at Saxion, Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen and Hogeschool Utrecht are in the process of translating the publishers?? policy data.
We are grateful to our colleagues from the Netherlands for translating the original English into Dutch.
Portuguese, Spanish and Hungarian versions of RoMEO were released in 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively, and SHERPA is working on further language versions for release in the future. Please contact us if you are interested in any specific languages and would like to help with translations.
