Paul, My consortia of libraries has assigned me the task of making a translation in Swedish. If there is documentation about how to do a translation, then please point out the link. Because of the low traffic on koha-translate and the discussions here, I presume now that the koha-translate list is now depreciated and that discussions of translation are to be discussed from now on in koha-devel instead. In the mean time, I have found the three files "intranet.fr", "opac-css.fr", and "opac.fr" in the directory koha/misc/translator and created corresponding ones for Swedish : "intranet.sv", "opac-css.sv", and "opac.sv" with the second column of text being in Swedish. Is that the recommended method? -Lars Lainaus Paul POULAIN <paul.poulain(a)free.fr>: [snip] > The plan here is quite simple : if you do a translation, ask for a > sourceforge account or send me the file (if it's for 2.2 future release) > & i'll add it.

Thanks, Urska and Paul.

I'll add kbabel to my Linux machines too, just to be flexible. I haven't used MS-Windows at work for 7 years and it's never been more that an aside even back then. In fact, I don't even condone its use anymore in any context.

Do you mean these '.po' files or other ones? ./koha/misc/translator/default_intranet_pl_PL.po ./koha/misc/translator/default_opac_pl_PL.po How about for the MARC21 or UNIMARC field names? -Lars ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/

UTF-8 or ISO-Latin-1 or ISO-Latin-15 ?

What is the working character set for Koha? I see a lot in ISO-Latin-1/-15, but think that UTF-8 might be a better start. It will be needed anyway when non-Western European languages start to come into use. -Lars ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/
