Future plans

Localization

Internationalization of the Hugo-based docs.folio site has been completed in 2020. A proof-of-concept for the German localization (= actual translation) is being stored on a separate branch (Branch/Pull Request, Preview) until such time that content is ready for inclusion and gets approved by the German translation team.

Context-sensitive Help

Future work should include a mechanism for users to click on an area of the user interface and open the relevant section of the documentation for help.
