[Koha-translate] [Koha-devel] Multi-Language marc bib/auth & Policy, Koha Architecture

[Fischer, Katrin]

Hi, 

 

currently there is no way to load bibliographic frameworks or other
things in additional languages into the database and make the display
obey your chosen language on the bottom of the page. You can load sample
data in different languages during install - this is available for
German including translated frameworks. 

At the moment only one language at a time is supported for the database
based data.

 

Other exemples for that are authorized values, item types, borrower
categories or notices.

 

Katrin

Architecture

 

		Hello,
		
		As of Koha 3.2.x, we are using Koha as a single language
ILS in marc tags and policies, where
		marc bib tags, auth tags, policy descriptions are
displayed in one language
		only at an instance. As shown below with our Arabic Koha
3.2.3 installed,
		you will notice that in spite that the interface is in
English
		  (Left-to-Right) orientation the marc fields tags and
policy elements
		descriptions are still displayed in Arabic because there
are only single fields structure to carry these elements.
		
		marc Bibliographic tags:

iblionumber=197

		I recall hat the issue of having Koha supporting more
than one language, for
		its marc fields tags and policy descriptive names in one
instance, has been
		raised before, but until today we are not sure if
something had been done
		  about it or the issue is still in the pipelines for
future Koha releases.
		 

		Please, does anyone know more about this issue ? I
recall that I have read
		in one of the Koha digest posts that a German Koha was
built with English
		and German infrastructure to allow using either language
in all of its user
		interface including marc tags and policy descriptive
names. Thanks for any
		guidance on this.
		
		Thanks
