I agree with Stephen, but is this a translation-script problem? Will translators who use the translator script only be given the one instance of 'issues' to translate, without know the context? It's been a while since I tried out that script... -- Owen

Sounds like the word you want is "issue", as in "the November issue of the magazine". And we would just say "a missing issue" or "this issue is missing" - I don't think there's a particular English word for it.

Hi, In french, for a given subscription (=abonnement), you wait for effective items. Repeated items are called "bulletins" (= explains the word "bulletinage" -see previous post-) What word should we use in english ? Items is very poor, as it's used for something else. In french, "numéro" is a synonym for "bulletin", and can be translated by "number". I think number is poor in english too. still in french, a "bulletin" that is late and will never arrive is called "lacune". I don't know the exact translation, but is "missing" OK ? A "bulletin" that is late will be marked "late". Is this word correct ? A "bulletin" that should arrive soon is marked "waited" (= ie : is planned, but not yet late). Is it correct ?

Re: [Koha-devel] serial management & "bull"

Hi friends The right word may be "Continuing Resources". This includes each and every type of serials publication. Another point in the development of KOHA is to design effective report interface. The report interface should include all the report formats (standard & customized) for various housekeeping operations. I would like to post a list of such necessary reports in the forum.

Hi every body, I'm back after 2 weeks, and happy to work on Koha again. I'm reading commits & try to understand them. I've 2 questions for chris & owen : * for CHRIS : your commit about language selection is nice but I feel they are uncomplete. Am I wrong ? I see only internal things and no new button(s) in OPAC. * for OWEN (copy to MATTHIEU, from doXulting) : Thanks for HTML fixes, the question is about basket.js. This script should be in <THEMELANG>/js/basket.js, where you moved it. But you didn't delete the /js/basket.js directory. Is there a reason for this ? Matthieu, you did some changes, that where in the new location. It means you saw the modif. So unless Owen states something else, I'll delete basket.js & the /js/ directory. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

(Though having dealt with subscription > services, I'm not so sure "bull" isn't the right word!) serial would be poor as Paul noted, but as Stephen suggested the plural rather than subscription, i propose using the plural with the original word, so serials. -ron

serial management & "bull"
by Paul POULAIN 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi, I know "bull" does not mean in english the same thing as in french... In french, it's "bulletinage", which means "serial management and subscription". It means : * subscription to serials. * reception of books. this includes surveying missing books and exceptionnals editions. Jean Baron, the french developper developped 80% of the serial management stuff & i'll write what's missing this month. My first goal is to have definitive terms for menus & directories. So, the 1st question : how to call "bulletinage" in english (in 1 word) ? I'm afraid "serial" is not clear enough -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Introducing myself
by Andres Tarallo 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Hi Everybody !!!! I've been contracted to help in the migration of an existing instalation of MicroISIS under DOS (CEPAL Catalog) to Koha. As a side efect of this migration I've to translate to spanish Koha, and add some funcionalities needed by our university: we don't fine with money people who are late to return their books. We also want to integrate our development to the main project, since we're aware that it would be usefull to other libraries in South America (were I live), we also want to integrate the translation. I've a working instalation of Koha 2.1.0 were i want to develop. I'm aware that there are works in argentina and Chile with similar goals and I want to contribute with this developments and integrate them to the main source tree. In the true free software spirit, in this way will get a better package.

> Stephen questioning moving 2.0.x out of CVS, I > think. Actually, I think Stephen was asking whether you comments meant that you thought 2.0.x should no longer me made available for download at all, not whether it should be moved out of CVS. You wrote: > rel_2_0 is mostly dead for development, so there's > no point downloading it IMO. And I think he thought (as I did) that you meant that it should no longer be provided for download *at all*. It is obviously necessary for there to be places where anyone can download the latest stable release! -- Owen
