Fwd: Koha - what all languages it supports
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Murari <murari@nio.org> Date: Jul 13, 2006 12:52 AM Subject: Koha - what all languages it supports To: st.hedges@gmail.com Dear Mr Stephen Hedges, I went to the Koha website to find out what all languages the software supports (for the metadata pertaining to the documents). I did this job just to find out whether it supports Latvian and Russian languages (English interface is no problem) based on the query received from Latvia. I am also interested in knowing whether it can accept the Indian languages for data entry and search. Since this info was unavailable on the website, may I request you to please let me know whether this is possible.

Hi Murari, Koha has a very nicely written translation framework that can be used to create language-specific templates. It also supports utf-8 natively and so can do searches and display characters from languages in that character set. If you are interested in helping out in the translation effort, let me know and I can send you some translation files.

Hi all, Yes, Koha support all languages. We are working on Chinesenization of Koha interface and documentations. demo site: 140.136.81.145 The default language for Koha is English. Koha do not limit itself on any one language. Koha support UTF-8(Unicode). However, you have ask someone configure your server and client to process your language. That is an easy job for technicians but a terrible experence for librarians. 2006/7/17, Stephen Hedges <st.hedges@gmail.com>:
