Koha translation HOW-TO?
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

Hi, I would like to know how to start translating koha. What is a current method to do that? Should I go to each *.tmpl file and single out every instance of an english sentence and translate it into my language? Is that enough for the OPAC and INTRANET stuff to work ok? Also, I would like to know if Koha is charset aware...? If I start typing ISO-8859-2 charset into the database will it present itself correctly when displayed at some other terminal? Are any commands needed for MySQL to manage other charsets? Thanks for any hints. Benedict

Ben Ostrowsky forwarded this to me, I think it would be great if we could get as many koha responses to Pamela as possible. (I've removed the attached rtf, so you'll need to answer in plain text -- if you *need* the rtf, let me know and I'll send you a copy.) Public Libraries will need to act quickly to respond to this, your deadline in Oct 21 of this year. The rest of you have a bit longer, due dates start hitting in Jan 2003. Thanks in advance for taking this on. I'm sending a copy to the koha-translate list as well. Hopefully, we can get some of the non-english users of Koha to resond as well (Time will be really tight for them.)

1.3.1 released
by Pat Eyler 15 Oct '02

BE CAREFUL : THIS IS AN ALPHA VERSION OF KOHA. DON'T USE IT ON PRODUCTION, ONLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ! Look for a 1.2.x serie if you want a stable version ! WHAT'S NEW With this version, comes the 1st part of the visible MARC stuff : * in the parameter screen of koha : you now have 2 links to manage MARC structure. This version is released with MARC21 english structure. French UNIMARC will come soon in CVS. Koha fields must be "mapped" to MARC fields in order to insure proper conversion of the DB. - The first tool is used to define MARC fields and subfield, the corresponding "tab" where the field is shown and the koha field mapping. - The second tools helps mapping, by presenting koha fields and their corresopnding MARC tag/subfield * in search of a biblio : if acquisitions=simple in systempref table, the biblios are shown in MARC format. INSTALLATION : installer.pl works fine for a fresh installation. Upgrading should work fine too. be sure to launch updater, fill_usmarc and updatedb2marc scripts. updatedb2marc migrates 30 biblios/seconds, so be patient if you plan to migrate a big DB ! KNOWN BUGS : * Acquisition system for "systempref.acquisition = simple" is still broken. will be corrected in 1.3.2. * Tabs are named 0xx to 9xx, but this is a "bug" : tabs should be named "0" to "9", as any MARC tag may appear in any tab, as defined in MARC tag structure parameter table.
