Arabic Translation of Koha
by Mohammed Gamal 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello everyone, I've been recently working on translating Koha to Arabic, however I can across this article on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_(software) ) that says that Koha was already translated to Arabic. I didn't see any arabic PO files in the main Koha distribution though. So I just want to know if Koha was translated to Arabic or not, and if it was translated then where is the Arabic PO file. Best Regards, Mohammed ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary, and those who don't." http://sl4shb0rked.wordpress.com Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Re: [Koha] Switching to Koha unsupported
by Edward M Corrado 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

I agree with what others have said. With basic Linux/mysql knowledge it is not difficult. The hardest thing would be migrating the records from the old server to the new one - if you don't want to renter everything. How hard that would be depends on how difficult it is to extract the data from the old system in a format that Koha understands. This is where a consultant might be useful/needed.

There's plenty of useful documentation and troubleshooting info available online if you run into problems.

Happy to help if you have any specific questions about installation or our experiences with Koha. Cheers, Kate 2010/6/18 Keogh, Matthew <Matthew.Keogh(a)eht.nhs.uk> Dear all I work in a small healthcare library, based in a general hospital in west London with an expanding user-base and a diminishing budget. We need a replacement for our aging DOS based library management system, but can’t afford a commercial solution. Koha seems to fit our purposes, but I would appreciate some idea of how feasible it would be to implement on our own - without using vendors such as PTFS? Two of us staff the library and we both have a reasonable level of IT literacy. We also have a supportive hospital IT department. I would be grateful if anyone could share their experience of setting up and using Koha unsupported. Many thanks for your help.
