[Koha-devel] Enabling Arabic and Kurdish Indexing

[MHE I.T. Admin (DRR)]

Hi everyone,

For our university library (http://library.koyauniversity.org/) we have
Koha 16.11. I was hoping that the new version will have a simple setting in
Admin interface to enable indexing is any languages by couple check boxes.
I can not imagine that there is a function library in the world and not
have couple books in Hebrew, Arabic or Persian, so KOHA needs to have easy
approach to this not just LATIN BASED languages.

Everything works fine with our Koha but have great issue with indexing
Arabic and Kurdish titles, (both RTL language, Arabic based alphabets).
When search it just list everything and anything.

I have followed the instruction here

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Correcting_Search_of_Arabic_records

but each time I run

# sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f library

it give me error message below and does not index anything at all, so I
gave up and reversed the steps. Would you please help?

​
# sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f library
