Right To Left in Arabic KOHA
by Karam Qubsi 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi all . I'm looking to develop the result of koha translation process in Arabic as you know the Arabic language is deffer from English in Arabic we read and write from right to left this is possible to be modified by hand but if we want to create an Arabic version of koha we need to make the text by default goes from right to left . so what we have to do to make this koha Arabic Version ? and make it as a choice in the installations steps when selecting Arabic. I think my group can edit the css files and make this ok (direction rtl ) but how to make this changes Permanent for every new Arabic Koha installation can we make some default template for Arabic language , or that can be selected from the po files in some way ? or it must be included in the koha package , or what ? Both Arabic and Hebrew, and the non-Semitic languages using the Arabic or the Hebrew alphabet, such as Persian and Yiddish, are written from right to left (except for their numbers!). Urdu which is also derived from Arabic and Persian language and ancient indo - aryan language binti is written from right to left. Ancient Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and the oldest Latin could be written in both directions. Also Chinese and Japanese can be written right to left (also written from top to bottom, vertically). Korean is NOT written from right to left I wish we discuss this to make the next koha version fully supported for Arabic language Kind regards -- Karam Qubsi Koha Arab translation Team http:koha.wikibrary.org Wikibrary for Arab librarians http://wikibrary.org

Translating Arabic OPAC 3.6 is complete , what about 3.8 ?
by Karam Qubsi 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi All 1- :) We have finished translating the opac for koha 3.6 . http://translate.koha-community.org/ar/36/ and every things is good there :) the koha 3.8 had been released as all of you know . Once before we finish the translating of 3.6 opac ,I try to upload the "ar-Arab-i-opac-t-prog-v-3006000.po" from : http://translate.koha-community.org/ar/36/ to the 3.8 project in : http://translate.koha-community.org/ar/38/ and i choose: Merge the file with the current file and turn conflicts into suggestions is that wrong ? so the fuzzy strings are come from the old (uncompleted file) and now if we import from the completed file(opac3.6) the translated stings come as suggestions so the fuzzy strings is not replaced what to do now ? and the process of approving suggestions take a long time as you know can you make the 3.8 opac file blank from the current translations to let us upload the completed file and the better version of the opac po file because we make a lot of correction there so we don't want to rework again the same things we had done in the past . we want just to translate the new strings in the 3.8 opac po file , 2:) we are now working in translating the 3.6 staff client so do you advice us to move from working there to work in the 3.8 po files ? 3 an other issue the files in the 3.8 project page names is incorrect like : ar-Arab-i-opac-t-prog-v-3006000.po it must be named as the following : ar-Arab-i-opac-t-prog-v-3008000.po and many many many thanks for you all :) Karam Qubsi Koha Arab translation Team http:koha.wikibrary.org Wikibrary for Arab librarians http://wikibrary.org

Hi Samuel, thanks, now I do see Pashto as a language and I have admin rights where I can allow other users to edit the language. However I don't see the po files yet for this language. Please let me know if this is something you can fix. Persian code is "pa".

Afghan languages - Dari and Pashto
by Savitra Sirohi 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hi Frederic, We need to translate Koha 3.8 OPAC in Dari and Pashto. We will use Persian for Dari. When I go to these languages (Persian and Pashto) on pootle, I don't see the po files for editing. I am guessing this is a permission issue. Can you please set permissions for my id (savitra.sirohi(a)osslabs.biz) to edit both these languages please. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Amit, > We need Afghanistan Dari language to be set up on pootle. Can somebody > help. Do you need the 3 .po files, or just the OPAC? What is this language ISO code? On this page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari It's explained that Dari is a persan oral variant. Couldn't we add the Persian directly?

Arabic Koha 3.6 OPAC translation Complete, But !
by Karam Qubsi 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi all 1- We have finished translating the opac file in 3.6 arabic koha http://translate.koha-community.org/ar/36/ I download the : ar-Arab-i-opac-t-prog-v-3006000.po to my pc and Test it by the command : msgfmt -c ar-Arab-i-opac-t-prog-v-3006000.po we found about 27 fatal error and we solve them all . when try to apply the translation to our opac it works in the main page of the opac , but when get in (eg. Advanced Search) the opac back to English version . i noticed that only the main opac page and the tags page is working in Arabic . so what is the problem ? what we have to check , and fix ? is there other ways to test the file ? 2- I fix the errors at my pc and when upload the file to the translate.koha-community.org . it make it as suggestions and there is a lot of old suggestion so fixing this errors in the website is going to be difficult . is there a way to upload my file directly (not as suggestions) ? or other way to delete all older suggestions and so I can find the new suggestion very fast ? or is there a way to see suggestions by specific user ? 3- Thanks a lot :)
