Good day I am prepared new part of Ukrainian translation of Koha. It's based on Koha 2.2.7 and my be good for new Koha 2.2.7.1 or 2.2.8. Here are a lot of files and some explanations: OPAC-css: all translated, some error fixed http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/opac/css/2.2.7/css_opac_uk_UA.po.t… prepared templates http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/opac/css/2.2.7/uk_opac-tmpl_css_fo… INTRANET-default: all translated http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/default/2.2.7/default_int… Also extracted from subfolder "value_builder" translation string: http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/default/2.2.7/english_cle… and start translation: http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/default/2.2.7/default_int… At end was prepared templates (included value_builder folder too): http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/default/2.2.7/uk_UA_intra… OPAC-npl: Translated currently main pages, so may be usefull http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/opac/npl/2.2.7/npl_opac_uk_UA.po.t… And templates: http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/opac/npl/2.2.7/uk_opac-tmpl_npl_fo… INTRANET-npl: Also translation in work: http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/npl/2.2.7/npl_intranet_uk… Ectracted "value_builder" http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/npl/2.2.7/english_clear_v… and also start translation http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/npl/2.2.7/npl_intranet_va… and all this in templates http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/intranet/npl/2.2.7/uk_UA_intranet_… SQL-tables: all translated, added holding field/subfield translation: http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/marc_datas/unimarc_uk/unimarc_uk_s… added new stopwords: http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/sql-datas/ukrainian/stopwords.tar.… ukrainian_authorities_unimarc not chenged, so not listed All translated system pref., included setting for Ukraine, utf-8 and modified "Choice"-like variables for styles http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/sql-datas/ukrainian/unimarc_standa… I also did small research about a cyrillic alphabet and try to use utf-8 everywhere: linux-locale, apache, koha-templates ... and for MySQL (4.1) need this code in my.ini/my.cnf: [mysql] default-character-set=utf8 [mysqld] init-connect = 'SET NAMES utf8' default-character-set=utf8 character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci This setting need BEFORE installing Koha/creating bases. With this cyrillic work good (I hope, for all). Maybe it need be to add to installation Koha-script Also the other day saw the strange cutting of strings in Koha: 1) After import unimarc_standard_systemprefs.sql into Koha DB some lines are cutted. This cutting observed in browser and Db data too. 2) Found this cutting also in some records, imported into Koha (at now found only few such strange records) Look also at my page, devoted to translation/adaptation Koha for Ukraine: http://www.library.lviv.ua/software/koha/index_eng.shtml With best wishes Serhij Dubyk -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Ukrainian-and-translation-for-2.2.7%2B-tf3291762.html… Sent from the Koha - Translate mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

New Koha Languages Module
by Joshua M. Ferraro 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Hi gang, On IRC today, hdl, paul and I discussed how we represent lists of languages in Koha. At the moment we have three places where lists are represented, and all three use a different method of obtaining the list: 1. language switcher for OPAC and Intranet, and directory names for the language options (use two letter codes based on the ISO 639-1 standard ). 2. search interface (limiting by langauge like on: http://search.athenscounty.lib.oh.us/search?expanded_options=1 ( use three letter codes based on ISO 639-2, language names in the language's script, and English langauge names all hardcoded in Koha.pm). 3. hdl's new web installer, where the librarian picks her language as a step in the install process (uses two letter codes based on ISO 639-1, hardcoded). There are other places where lists of langauges will need to be represented shortly (on that I can think of off the top of my head is the new translation site that is currently in beta). I'd like to propose that we create a new Language.pm module for managing the list of languages with the aim to provide the following elements for every list of langauges: 1. two or three letter codes for the language based on ISO 639-2, which is maintained by the LOC and is inclusive of ISO 639-1: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/ http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/ 2. the language name in the script of the language. So for instance, 中文 for Chinese, Français for French, etc. 3. the langauge name in the language of the user, based on the template language choice ( so that if you are logged in as a French speaker, you'd see Perse (French spelling), not Persian (English spelling). To acomplish this, I propose we create a Language.pm module in Koha that provides a set of functions for finding lists in various contexts. We could utilize the existing lists around ISO-630-2 to create the initial list, perhaps stored as a flat file, or in SQL ... and we will need to create a new language_list.tmpl file to store language name translations (at least some of which can probably be automated using available translations). So, ideas, questions?

koha 2.2.8 (previously 2.2.7-1) release plan
by Paul POULAIN 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Hello all, toins has created a R_2-2-7-1 branch from 2.2.7, and ported all BUGFIXES since 2.2.7 release. That will do the 2.2.8 (we talked of 2.2.7.1 during our last chat, but thinking of this, I think it's unclear for users : the next version should be called 2.2.8 and the next one 2.2.9. joshua agreed with this idea) I gave it some tests, and it seems to work fine. I install it atm for a new french koha user that i'll teach koha later this week. If everything is as smooth as expected, i'll release 2.2.8 on monday/tuesday next week (it may be delayed as baby birth is expected for wednesday, so if you don't hear from me on time, you'll know why ;-) ) NOTE FOR TRANSLATORS : there are only 1 new string and 2 updated strings between 2.2.7 and 2.2.8, so 2.2.7 translations should work for 2.2.8 as well. Here are planned release notes : -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org) Tel : 04 91 31 45 19
