Standardised US English Translation

Hi All, After a big fuss, I have gone a bit quiet. Working on Koha is not my day job anymore. Anyway, forgive the cross list posting, but my last email got forwarded to all the lists and I guess this topic is of interest to the devel list as well. I am happy to help out with standardising the language used in the default Koha install to that of the dictionary everyone agreed on. It would be easiest for me to do this using Kartouche at translate.koha.org, because then I can see how many strings still need to be translated and I can do it from anywhere. Any progress with getting a language code setup? Is Joshua the only person that can do this? Cheers, Russel

Hi to all, I have a doubt about this phrase of Koha staff: #: ../../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/help/acqui/basket.tmpl:6 msgid "view suggestions placed by Patrons and add to the item to the basket." msgstr "" If I have undostood well, the correct phrase is : "view suggestion(s) placed by Patrons and add item(s) to the basket" The france traslation is : "voir les suggestions émises par des adhérents et ajouter le document au " "panier" What is you opinion on the phrase ? Bye Zeno Tajoli

NZ English Translation

Hi everyone, Please forgive the re posting, but I think I managed to time my original for when HDL was moving the lists. Anyway here is my request again. I would like to do a Koha Translation into NZ English. This way we can manage some of the terms in the interface that those of us in this part of the world don't use. Things like zipcode -> postcode, state -> region etc. Can a en-NZ language code be setup please? Cheers, Russel

Salvete! Sorry about the ccing and such, but I want to make sure the proper folks get this, so I just replied all to the last post. I've been thinking for a little while about the nature of the project. To a certain extent, we are all victims of the project's success, which I believe to be a happy problem. The _surface_ problem is that of translation or diction used. (Arguably there isn't even a standard within a given country thanks to trends - some folks prefer Patrons, some customers, some users, et cetera.) I think the deeper problem is that there is one out of the box programme. I truly believe that we're well past the point that that even comes close to working nicely anymore. Well do I also know how very much time dedicated developers like you all put into this, for free. In the end, I think it would save user time to either have a drop down install or different purpose based packages. For the States (I apologise here again, it's been about a decade since I lived in Ireland, and even that was short term, so I hesitate touching someone else's stuff.) I would propose a breakdown based on volume size and Library purpose. For instance small Public, large Academic, School, Consortial, et cetera. If the switches are already flipped for the most part, there will be a lot less hassle at the end of the day for a bunch of effort up front. I bet that a users' group would have good insights into how they would want their package to look by default. All the functionality would remain for each package of course, it would just be a nicer initial Out of the Box flavour for different Library types in different regions. Time could be managed that way, et cetera. (Or maybe not, since I'm not a technical person, but I remember installers for other stuff prompting for time zone and such...) Not in the face, Brooke
