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.
some good news... :) it looks like the Koha will do RTL (right-to-left) languages for translation correctly ... because Koha uses 'Pootle' software to translate see here.... http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/developers/styling http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/features "The Pootle online translation editor - Implements right-to-Left display where needed for both translation content and the user interface" and here... http://franhp.net/svn/catux-server/configs/pootle.prefs # Pootle.description # # Consider adding <div dir="ltr"> ... </div> around any text in a left-to- # right language to guarantee good rendering for users of right-to-left # languages and vice versa if you put a message in a right-to-left language. # For multilingual servers, you might also want to indicate the language of # your description to ensure proper rendering and for better accessibility.
