This plugin works around CKAN issue #5331 (Calling dataset groups ‘groups’ rather than ‘categories’ is unclear/confusing). CKAN 3 is scheduled to provide a cleaner solution. So far, this only allows renaming to ‘categories’. Renaming was only done for French so far, but the plugin provides instructions for adding new languages via i18n catalog management.
