Available languages in Koha 3 Beta... and "famfamfam"
Hi list! I've installed Koha 3 Beta last week, on a (virtual) machine running Linux (openSUSE 10.3), the "default" Apache (2.2.4) and the "default" MySQL (5.0.45). First of all, congratulations to the Koha developers team for a very nice UI (User Interface) redesign. The new Koha (literally) looks great! :) Having said that, I did run into some problems during the installation (but I'll leave that to other post). The topic of this message is languages, both in the OPAC and in the Intranet areas. After I managed to: 1- run perl makefile.PL 2 - install all the required package dependencies (Perl packages - mostly from CPAN - and RPM packages) 3 - create the koha (MySQL) database and the kohaadmin user and the koha system user 4 - run make test and make install 5 - ... I finally reached the first step of the Web Installer, available at: http://hostname:8080/cgi-bin/koha/installer/install.pl That took me to a login screen. I logged in with my kohaadmin username and password. That worked and took me to the "Web Installer > Step 1" page (the URL remained the same), to choose a language. The default language that appears has a funny looking name: "famfamfam"! I have searched the web and found out that famfamfam is some kind of an icons web site - http://www.famfamfam.com/ => Does anyone have any idea why does famfamfam appear as an available language? I have executed the locate command - locate famfamfam - and found out there is a famfamfam directory in: /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/famfamfam I changed that default language option (famfamfam) to en (English), but did not find any other languages to select (like "pt" - Portuguese - that was the one I was looking for). I followed every step of the Web Installer (with no apparent problems). After I finished the Web Installer, I logged in to the Intranet Koha site with the kohaadmin username. I clicked on the "System Preferences" link, that took me to: http://hostname:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl Then, I clicked on the "I18N/L10N" link on the left hand side, which took me to: http://hostname:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?tab=I18N/L10N I then tried to change the parameters for: - "language" -http://hostname:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?op=add_form&searchfield=language - and "opaclanguages" - http://191.112.10.6:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?op=add_form&searchfield=opaclanguages But I only get "en" as a (checkbox) option for "language" and "famfamfam" and "en" as (checkbox) options for "opaclanguages". So, my questions are: 1 - Why is "famfamfam" appearing as language? 2 - What do I have to do so that other languages (namely Portuguese - pt) appear as a checkbox option for the "language" and/or "opaclanguages" parameters? I'm using UNIMARC and *not* MARC21 (if that's relevant). If I missed to mention any relevant info, feel free to point it out. Thanks in advance!

Seconded! We have also installed the beta version to quality ensure our Norwegian translations. But we have seen all to many English strings, it seems that many strings that we mean to have translated and sent in are not present, instead we see the English strings. This is both on the opac and the staff interface. We have fully translated opac, so this is strange. Therefore we want to know: * When is our last change to submit new translations for 3.0? We already have translated everything (except UNIMARC-strings in French), but know that many improvements will still have to be made, so we can wait. But if there is a limit we want to submit as close to that limit as possible to give the users the best possible result :-) * Will there be easy to add fixes to the translations later on? As this is the first Norwegian translation we expect to see many things needing correction later on, when we get to know the system better and get to see all of our strings in the right context. * If the answer to the above two questions is negative (or: not in a very long time) please check your translation build to see if all the strings are really imported correctly. Be aware: We can send you our latest packages any time you want, just give us a hint :-P * We see there are probably new strings too, so we will have to merge them in with our own. Do you know of any tools to do this automatically? (The last time we needed it someone else nicely enough did it for us; thank you again :-) Best regards Axel Bojer

Thank you very much for your reply. :) I noticed that, some hours after your reply, Paul Poulain asked a similar question to Joshua Ferraro (here, in the Koha-devel mailing list), and Joshua already replied, mentioning that the problem with the missing languages will be corrected in a Beta 2 version of Koha 3, scheduled for today: [Koha-devel] Koha 3.00Beta, language template provided (to joshua) http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-April/007394.html Thanks again!
