Hi all,  i had just started  to translate KOHA into Azerbaijanian language, it is closely like Turkish language, so i decided to change Turkish po file, but i have some questions. For example how can i add my own PO file into the system?  Which files i must edit?  Thanks in advance, Best wishes, Elshan Akhundov Advertisement: Novinka ot Swedbank - Strahovanije podderzhki semji Pozabotjsja o finansovoi stabiljnosti svojei semji!

French Installation of Koha is a bit mixed in languages
by Rick Welykochy 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi all, I've installed Koha/3.00.03 for a French library. The only place that the installation procedure asked me about language choice was during the MARC21 config, so at that point I specified "fr". Our admins then completed the web install and have ensured that the language and opaclanguages system prefs are both set to "fr-FR". But strange things are afoot. Perhaps. Since this is a first for me, I do not know if a French Koha should exhibit the following characteristics. 1. OPAC: the HTML header states the following: <html lang="en" xml:lang="en" ... etc. 2. Admin: the HTML header states the following: <html lang="en-NZ" xml:lang="en-NZ" ... etc. 3. Many of the pages are indeed in French, so I must assume that the correct set of templates. There are many anomolies, though: (A) the Admin homepage is in French on the left side, but the navigation links into the admin system are in English (B) the OPAC home page is entirely in English Is this to be expected? Also, is there a guide to how to complete (and perfect!) a French Koha install?

The primary difference for our purposes is that the Holds Queue report lets you filter by branch. In our 7-branch system this is a requirement. In our system the Holds to Pull report returns no results. We were told that Holds Queue was the one to use, perhaps because our system is not configured to use the Holds to Pull report? Although the manual doesn't say anything about that report requiring a cron job. > 2) Both reports list holds that are already at 'waiting' status, which seems > unhelpful to me for the Holds to pull report.

Neither report lists holds for items which are checked out because the purpose of the report is to give a list for librarians to take to the stacks so they can pull items with holds. I'm not aware of a built-in report which fits your description. > Lastly, on a related problem - when placing a 'specific copy' hold > (intranet) the system reverts to 'next available'. I remember reading > discussion of this but can't find it again now I need it. Do you know > whether this has been fixed - or was it maybe caused by some code being > missing from the install? Do you mean that after placing the item-level hold the list of holds indicates that just-placed hold is "next available" rather than "Only item XXXXX?" I'm not aware that this is a known bug, but a quick test suggests that it doesn't exist in the latest version. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Patron Bsort2 Category Disappears from Patrons Statistics Report
by Chris Mueller 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Koha v3.0002012 on Ubuntu Prior to today only the Patron Bsort1 category had authorized values. Both Patron Bsort1 and Patron Bsort2 appeared on the new patron add form and on the Patrons statistics report form. Today I added authorized values to the Patron Bsort2 category. The new patron add form still displays Patron Bsort1 and Patron Bsort2. The Patrons statistics report form *no longer displays* Patron Bsort2. Has anyone seen this behavior before, or have a solution. I have searched Bugzilla and the online documentation. Thanks.

koha-zebra-daemon problem
by Nadel Catura 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

I am currently reinstalling Koha. I have come to the part of Configuring and starting Zebra. There are 2 options mentioned that can be done. I chose the Option 2 for this. However, it is not that easy to move on because: when i enter the command, update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults it always returns, ... file does not exists. why is that? -- Nadel D.

eIFL-FOSS ILS Case Studies published
by Randy Metcalfe 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Dear All, For the past year, 6 libraries from Malawi to Nepal have been learning a great deal about free and open source software (FOSS) integrated library systems (ILS). Case studies of their investigations, successes, and learning points are now available. The participating pilot sites in this project range from the relatively small (50,000 to 70,000 volumes) to the very large (more than 4 million volumes). They also stretch from libraries with a single systems librarian to libraries with an entire IT team. This project was not merely about installing and using a FOSS ILS; it was about learning to engage with FOSS development and support communities. It's all about participation. We are delighted to report that the technical leads from each pilot site (and the teams they managed, where those existed) have taken engagement seriously. So much so that eIFL.net libraries are now regular contributors to the Koha http://www.koha.org/ and Evergreen http://www.open-ils.org/ ILS development and support communities. With the publication of these case studies we hope many more libraries within the eIFL.net community will take up the challenges and opportunities that come with FOSS in libraries. The case studies may be accessed here: http://www.eifl.net/cps/sections/services/eifl-foss/ils/case-studies The 6 participating pilot libraries are: Fundamental Scientific Library of the National Academy of Sciences, Armenia; Mzuzu University Library, Malawi; Library of the Faculty of Medicine Pharmacy and Dentistry, University of Bamako, Mali; Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya, Nepal; and Midlands State University Library, Zimbabwe. Best wishes, Randy -- Randy Metcalfe eIFL-FOSS

One of our users has a sight impairment and uses JAWS screen reader to use their PC. They feel that the Koha Opac is not very successful with JAWS. Has anyone else got a similar experience or any advice? Thanks, Regards, Marty
