Data Page - Filter order #107

Closed camiplata closed 3 years ago

camiplata commented 3 years ago

Looking at #20 I realized that changing the positions of filters also will be nice, particularly taking out from the "more tab" 1 or 2 more filters, for example stateProvince and/or Administrative area that are very used criteria.

BTW The "DWCA extensions" option will be availabe at "more" tab?

albenson-usgs commented 3 years ago

BISON would also like to move "Administrative area" out of the "More" tab and also rename it to something that will be more meaningful for users.

See docs for instructions.

var siteConfig = {
  rootPredicate: ...,
  blacklistedFilters: ['datasetKey'],
  highlightedFilters: ['collectionCode', 'taxonKey'],

At some point all filter names and ui labels will be in a translation file and available in Crowdin. English is however different than other languages, in the sense that I the GBIF secretariat provides those labels. But I'm sure feedback is appreciated if the labels are confusing/misleading/insensitive etc.

The flow for translating GBIF.org is

Some web developer (say me) write labels to the best of their ability
GBIF communications translate that into proper english (Oxford english variation I believe) and sometimes change the wording entirely
The translators translate the corrected english version to the various languages.

I imagine it will be something similar for this UI

GBIF's house style is to follow the UN style guide, which is Oxford English (realize, colour). Except we use Darwin Core terms as they are defined (catalog number, coordinate uncertainty in meters — not catalogue or metres).

If we need to, we could create American English (realize, color) and British English (realise, colour) translations; only a few words would need translating.
