---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jared Camins-Esakov <jcamins(a)cpbibliography.com> Date: Tue, May 8, 2012 at 12:29 PM Subject: [Koha-devel] Koha 3.6 string freeze To: koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org Greetings, international Koha community! As you may know, I was elected as Release Maintainer for the 3.6.x branch for the Koha 3.10 release cycle. Well, the time has come to do some releasing! Over the weekend I cherry-picked all candidates for inclusion in the 3.6.x into a new branch: 3.6.x-maint/testing. I encourage you to test that branch out, and try to shake out any bugs that there may be. Tomorrow I will be cherry-picking commits into the existing 3.6.x branch for the Koha 3.6.5 release. With the exception of high priority patches, only those commits that were incorporated into Master on or before April 12 will be considered for inclusion. The 3.6.x branch will then enter string freeze on May 10 at 16:00 UTC to give the translation teams time to work their magic. Koha 3.6.5 will be released on May 24.

Do you work locally, and then upload your file? In this workflow, it could happen that locally corrupted files, for whatever reason, break Pootle DB during upload. I can reload you language files as available in Koha community repository. Kind regards, -- Frédéric DEMIANS http://www.tamil.fr/u/fdemians.html

[Koha] Right To Left in Arabic KOHA
by Massoud Alshareef 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hey Guys, I support Ruth Bavousett's suggested approach if it can be generalized over all CSS components. Based on our experience with Arabic Koha (you can visit some Arabic/English Koha sites to see it in action: http://kfuschools.maktabat-online.net<http://kfuschools.maktabat-online.net:8080/> | http://alshafallah.maktabat-online.net/ | http://mu.maktabat-online.net/; for visiting the Arabic Staff client, click here: http://kfuschools.maktabat-online.net:8080/ using demo/demo for User ID and Password), it must be R2L tweaked manually at almost every component level in the CSS to appear correctly in R2L. This is the reason we have to create and maintain an Arabic CSS for every Koha OPAC site interface. We will be happy to work on Ruth's suggested implementation when his work becomes available for testing. It will be awesome to see the Arabic Koha (say ver. 3.10) comes billy dancing (middle eastern good-time expression!) out of the box without having to tweak each component in order to look super from right to left. All the best. Thanks Massoud M. AlShareef, عالم الانجازات ينحاز دوماً مع المتفائلين The world of achievement has always belonged to the optimist! KnowledgeWare Technologies (P.O.

Update for nb-NO?
by Magnus Enger 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hiya! I managed to translate all of nb-NO for the 3.8 deadline, *except* most of the help pages. I might be able to do a few of them occasionally now, though. If I remember correctly, a lot of changes to these files were committed after the .po files in Pootle were generated. Could someone please generate new .po files for nb-NO so I can keep on translating up-to-date files? Best regards, Magnus Enger libriotech.no

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
