Koha 2.2.3 translation & roadmap & release notes
by Paul POULAIN 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hello all, TRANSLATION & ROADMAP =============================== Koha 2.2.3 is almost ready. Translators can/must work on their translation files (.po) You MUST update your translations file & check them. There are at least[*] : 9 new strings and 23 fuzzy in OPAC and 17 untranslated / 29 fuzzy in default librarian template. I plan to release Koha 2.2.3 next monday, so you have almost 1 week do update your translations. Reminder : export PERL5LIB=/path/to/koha ./tmpl_process3.pl update -r -i ../../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en -s po/default_intranet_your_language.po --exclude=.*unimarc.* ./tmpl_process3.pl update -r -i ../../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en -s po/default_intranet_fr_FR.po Once you have updated, commit the new po file, i'll take care of tmpl_process3.pl install before releasing. Note : for ppl that don't have cvs access, i can rebuild a .po file and send it by mail. [*] because i'm not 100% sure that my french translation file comes from 2.2.2b, it can be more recent, so there can be more strings to translate. RELEASE NOTES ============================== The release notes should be the following (maybe more, but not less, all what is written here is done & ready) BUGFIXES ***** Critical & Minor mixed === ACQUISITION === * adding supplier info to basket.pl (for order printing) * adding a date filter on acquisition history search === OPAC === * minor fix in subject link (normal view) === CATALOGUE === * it's possible to change a framework type when editing a biblio * (critical) bugfix in authorities : in biblio repeated fields, when you choosed an authority entries, it was copied in all the fields, not only in one. * bugfix : when you duplicate a MARC field (for the 2nd time or more), the last field was duplicated too. * bugfix in subject link, in normal view * bugfix when duplicate authority suspected, the link to see the other authority was wrong. * bugfix in items : the Edit biblio button was wrong. * bugfix when MARC=OFF, subject modifs were not stored in MARC database. * bugfix in z3950 client, for BNF (problem probably due to upgrading of some sofwtare in UNIMARC) === AUTHORITIES === * bugfix in "next page" in authority search (was buggy under certain circumstances only) === CIRCULATION === * bugfix : checking issuing rules under certain circumstances was buggy (reported issuing OK where it should not) * bugfix : renewal by issuing a book again did not work correctly. === BORROWERS === * better management of joining & expiry dates : - dates can be manually typed when adding a borrower. - Empty fields are automatically calculated (joining = today & expiry date calculated from borrower category) - Expiry date can be modified * checking expiry date when trying to issue a book & forbidding issuing when expiry date reached. ** IMPORTANT ** This check was not done before. Thus, you may be unable to issue books where you could before. You can update your database borrower by borrower or with the following SQL command on the server : "update borrowers set expiry='2005-31-12'". You can limit the update to a borrower category with "update borrowers set expiry='2005-31-12' where categorycode='A'" (all SQL commands must be typed without any ") * template improvements & some bugfixes in fines management. === PARAMETERS === * in marctagstructure, next & previous button no more loose frameworkcode & link to default framework IMPROVEMENTS === ACQUISITION === * in history search, a filter has been added on order date. * there are now 2 differents totals : one for rrp column & one for est column === CATALOGUE === * There is also a FindDuplicate feature for MARC Authorities * Dictionnary search : for titles, author & subject, there is now a "dictionnary search". when the user clic on ..., a popup appear, that enable search in biblios as well as in authorities. For example, if user clic on author, and enter "Hugo", he will fing all authors & authority having "Hugo". He then can choose the Hugo he want and run the search with what he has found (& other criteria as well if he want) * it's now possible to change the framework of a biblio * the overduenotice.pl script (that sends a mail to borrowers with late issues) contains the list of late items (title, author) === PARAMETERS === * a new button in marctagstructure.pl has been added : if selected, only actived fields/subfields are shown. Subfields used are in a summary just under the tag. Strongly limits the number of lines shown & more user friendly. * Adding 2 checks in marc parameter checking : only 1 MARC tag must be mapped to item tab and warning if there is NULL in a frameworkcode' === REPORTS === * in "borrowers with no issues" wizard, adding "without issues since" === OPAC === * basket / bookbag sending now has item list and an iso2709 file attached * links to reach suggestions & virtual shelves from any OPAC page * improvements in style sheet for better standard compliance. OPAC works perfectly under opera & konqueror. * added a systempref to define an alternate image as logo (for main page & top-left image on each page) * added a systempref to choose either to show or hide "lost" items. Note that "lost items" can be related to an authorised value list, so does not necessary mean "item definetly lost". Even here, some libraries want to see lost items, and some don't want. This parameter will make everybody happy ! * adding a "complete historyview" for subscription. Show year by year all issues, whatever the status (arrived, missing...) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Spanish translation
by Guillermo Garcia 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi, I'm a librarian in Peru and I would like to collaborate into the Koha's project. I want to translate into Spanish some of the documents that appear in http://www.kohadocs.org but I need to know if any of these documents are being translated or not into Spanish. Does anyone know something about it? Thanks, Guillermo

Re: [Koha-devel] Swedish translation of Koha and MARC21
by lars＠rovaniemelainen.com 03 May '05

03 May '05

I'm arranging for someone with Koha here to actually verify these drafts in context. I'm sure the files contain some spelling errors or wrong guesses of context. I don't know the timeline for that. BTW The mail to Paul seems to bounce from here so, Paul could you let me know if you got the files I sent off-list? Thanks. -Lars Quoting Chris Cormack <chris(a)katipo.co.nz>: > lars(a)rovaniemelainen.com wrote: > > >I've sent a message off list to Paul with Swedish translations of > >css_opac_sv_SV.po, default_intranet_sv_SV.po, and default_opac_sv_SV.po > >attached.

Disambiguating the string "issue"
by lars＠rovaniemelainen.com 02 May '05

02 May '05

I notice in the interface that the term "issue" is used in at least three different contexts: 1) in circulation (i.e. to lend) 2) in journals as part of a host publication 3) in administrivia (i.e. a problem or question) Perhaps this is more suited as a bug report, but would it be possible to pick non-homonymic words for these three concepts? For example, could we say 'lend' or 'loan' for #1, and 'problem', 'question', 'incident', or similar for #3 For #2 the only alternative would be 'number', but that's not an option. -Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/

English gettext (.po) files for Koha 2.2.2 (was: Koha 2.2.2 is available for download)
by lars＠rovaniemelainen.com 28 Apr '05

28 Apr '05

Could someone please post the URL to the english gettext (.po) files for Koha 2.2.x ? I'd like to contribute a Swedish translation in exchange for the English gettext files which I need to do that. Project money runs out this month, at which point so does my offer. :( BTW I currently have first draft of the MARC21 labels. Where should I post that? -Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/

Translation wiki for jargon?
by lars＠rovaniemelainen.com 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

It would be nice to have a glossary of jargon used in the Koha interfaces. Is there a translation wiki for help with a glossary of terms and jargon found in Koha? If not, I am willing to add as a starting point the list of terms and scope notes that I have come up with if someone can start a wikipage for it and send me the URL. -Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/

Translation of MARC21 labels to Swedish
by lars＠rovaniemelainen.com 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Hi, 1) I've translated most of the MARC21 labels from English to Swedish. Where should I load them? Right now I have all the Authority, Bibliographic, Classification, Community and Holding field and subfield labels in OpenOffice.org, but can export them to another format. There are 5 columns. e.g.: 300 a Omång Extent R 2) There were also quite a few labels missing from the English version included in Koha SQL tables, at least as compared to the MARC21 version listed at the Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcdocz.html So I have filled those out as well. -Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/
