Spanish translation
by Desarrollo Koha 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

Hello: I am working on translate the english stuff of the default theme to spanish, but I have some problems with the translation tool (it seems not to catch all the strings and not to process others- specially strings with template vars in the middle of them-). I don't know the way to publish the work. Don't know what could be better translation file (not all the templates will be translated) or the translated templates (with some manual work that will be overwritten). Regards.

Translator tool improved
by paul POULAIN 16 Jan '04

Hi, I've just commited many translator tool improvements. Now, the translator tools works perfectly fine. * managing strings with LIMITED pragma when the string is a koha intenral code too (like search) * improving speed by 50 : just by reading the whole file before s///g, instead of doing a s///g on each line ! (on 1000 lines translation file, that makes a HUGE difference !) * NOT overwritting unchanged file => now, we can commit only what has changed ! * removing useless chars (., ?, spaces...) at end of strings. WORKS on french OPAC AND INTRANET without problems. Enjoy, and publish new localised versions of Koha in a few hours :-) PS : thanks to Jean Blaise that translated the intranet (1130 lines) to french. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

[important]NEW TRANSLATION TOOL
by paul POULAIN 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

I've just commited a new translation tool. Feel free to test it AND IMPROVE IT. TRANSLATION TOOL : ============ This transation tool should greatly help Koha translators. It's composed of 2 script : * test-extract.pl, that extracts the texts in a template. It is called by * tmpl_process. tmpl process can do 3 things : - create a file with all sentences all files in a directory (& it's subdirectories) - update an existing translation file. - rebuild translated templates from english & translation file. Call tmpl_process --help to get full explanations. HOW TO TRANSLATE Koha : ============ 1- create your translation file : ./tmpl_process.pl update -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s opac.fr -r 2- translate your opac.fr file (english & french being separated by a tab 3- create your translated version : ./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/ -s opac.fr -r 4- copy images in your new directory (as they are NOT moved by tmpl_process.pl install) If something changes in english version, go back to pt1 & repeat. WEAKNESSES ======= I've found some weaknesses (some solvable probably, but maybe some unsolvable) - HTML::Templates pb : if there is only a <TMPL* > tag between 2 strings, text-extract sometimes merges both strings, and so can't replace them in the translated template. I've solved all those cases with a <br/> or another HTML statement. - SHORT STATEMENTS short statements (like "in") can be replaced stupidly (like in cgi-bin => gives cgi-bdans in french). the workaround has been to replace only complete words ( line 185 of tmpl_process : $line =~ s/(\W)$text(\W)/$1$subst$2/g; ) Don't seem to have any side effect. - WORD exist in FILENAME words that are in the templates and in a perl script name are replaced ! For example : Search is replace by Recherche in french, thus,giving <a href="cgi-bin/opac-Recherche.pl">, which is wrong... The only way I've found to solve this is to ignore any translation whose translation string is IGNORE (search is the only cas i've found in french opac) - MISSING STRINGS Maybe some strings that should be translated are missing. You can add whatever you want in text-extract.pl. For instance, it extracts : - standard text - text in alt="SOMETEXT" - meta html encoding (8859-1) to enable non european translations.

translation tool
by paul POULAIN 08 Dec '03

08 Dec '03

Hi all, I've improved the translation tool. It now delete useless character at end of string (like ":" ) It also mark ***** ( five stars) on untranslated strings. It's just easier to find untranslated strings. I've commited 100% translated french opac with this tool. It works fine. I also have added a minor feature in opac, and can confirm it's easy to translate Koha with this tool. Only 1 thing will be added in the next days : not writting a translated template if it hasn't been modified since previous "tmpl_process.pl install", to avoid dozen of commits. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

he panui Koha 17 Jul 2003
by Pat Eyler 16 Jul '03

Hello everyone, it seems like it's about time for another of my infrequent newsletters. Quite a few things have taken place recently, and I want to make sure everyone is 'in the loop'. Most importantly, we're coming very close to a 2.0.0 release. The bug counts are down: 'must fix' 6 'should fix' 27 'might fix' 3 While a couple of new bugs get reported a week, the developers are still making progress. Part of our approach to 2.0.0 includes a beta testing cycle. That's already begun, and we're currently on release 2.0.0pre2. Paul is away for a couple of weeks, but I'm anticipating that he'll make another 2.0.0pre release shortly after his return. In other development news, we have two new features that are being held out of the main distribution while 2.0.0 stabilizes, rssKoha and ldapKoha. These are being distributed as separate packages so that people can see them and start working with them. At some point after the official 2.0.0 release, they will be merged into the main distribution. rssKoha is a system that allows a Koha system to syndicate RSS feeds based on data from the system. This will allow a library to begin publishing data to users through a different path than the OPAC. Good examples might be a list of the most recently acquired DVDs, or a list of the most requested/reserved mystery novels. ldapKoha allows a Koha system to authenticate users from an existing LDAP server. This feature should be particularly interesting to corporate or academic libraries. This feature was developed by the students at ESIEE (http://www.esiee.fr) More information about these (and other news about Koha), please take a look at http://www.kohalabs.com/news/ -- translations of stories are currently being provided in English, French, and German (Spanish should follow soon). If you're interested in helping translate or write stories about Koha, please email news(a)kohalabs.com with your contact information and interests. The final bits of news involves two more libraries picking up Koha! The Ecole des mines de Paris (I've been told that they're comparable to MIT in the US) has decided to begin working with Koha. The doxulting company (a Library systems consulting firm) and Paul Poulain will be working with them during this process. The University of Buffalo is going to start using Koha in some of its Library Information Systems courses. The students will be installing, testing, and reviewing Koha at first. Hopefully we'll see more involvement as the process moves forward. thanks, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org

Hi everyone, I'm getting ready to unveil a news site for Koha, you can see the skeleton at www.kohalabs.com/news/ I'd like to flesh it out with additional translations and stories. I'm happy to put stories into any given language first, and let translators handle them as they're able. If you can contribute translations or stories in your native language, please contact me. -pate

2.0 release meeting
by Pat Eyler 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

During our 2.0 release irc meeting, we identified a mechanism for prioritizing bugs currently listed on bugs.koha.org. We've got six that we're considering 'must fix' issues. There are twenty-nine more that are 'should fix', and four that are 'might fix'. 'Must fix' bugs will be corrected before the 2.0.0 release is made. We will try to fix all 'should fix' bugs, but won't delay the relase unduly to do so. 'Might fix' bugs will be fixed if someone manages to get it done before the 2.0.0 release is made. If you have a bug that has not yet been reported, please report it soon. At some point, we're going to start putting off fixing newly reported bugs until the 2.0.1 release. If you think we've mis-prioritized a bug, please let me know which bug, how critical you think it is, and why. The following bugs have been identified as 'must-fix' bugs for the 2.0.0 release: BugId Vers Summary 253 1.9.2 Thesaurus management doesn't work 293 1.9.1 Error Issuing Book - 1 489 1.9.3 Poor file copying 503 1.9.3 Installer places z3950 scripts in /cgi-bin/z3950 505 CVS moredetail.pl/tmpl problem 510 2.0.0 need new docs integrated These are should fix for 2.0.0: 50 458 65 469 185 471 225 474 236 475 239 478 247 479 272 480 295 484 318 487 322 492 379 500 426 504 436 506 452 These are 'might fix': 98 237 316 490 (to look at a ticket, you can use this url: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=XXX where XXX is replaced with the bug id listed above.)
