Hello Pat.
Hi Diego, (I'm Cc:ing the koha-devel list so that you can 'meet' everyone.)
My name is Diego Salcedo, an Information Science student at Pernambuco�s Federal University. Pernambuco is one of the brazilians states and it�s located northeast of the South American continent.
I have recieved a letter from a friend in Spain giving to me your library link to enter and find out how does this software works.
In this mesage you say that somebody allready have translated it to portuguese. Do you have this person contact (email) so I may access his/her web page??
All I have is this URL: http://www.biblioteca.amparo.sp.gov.br/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl
Any way, one of my projects with a profesor of mine is working on translating and implementing new components (logic development) to the new version of the Digital Library from Latina America and Caribe, for UNESCO.
Cool! The folks at Katipo have been doing some work with UNIDO in Europe, maybe there is some common ground that can be leveraged.
But I am also very interested in helping your library system to improve and to pursue more users around Brazil.
I'd love to see that happen. There is a portuguese language mailing list and a spanish one (more useful for non-Brasilian Latin America). You can subscribe to them by sending email to: koha-subscribe@es.koha.com koha-subscribe@br.koha.com
Therefore if I cannot find this brazilian translated version, I will start translating it my self using the college�s computers wich I already have the profesors permition to use for this particular purpose.
That sounds excellent.
This next week I will download the version and will start studying it. If I find anything interesting or if I have any doubts would you mind explaining them to me???
You should probably talk to Paul Poulain about translations, as he's the resident expert. thanks, -pate
Take care, cordially, Diego Salcedo - Brazil.
