How to add additional Z39.50 encodings
Hello In Koha Z39.50 servers administation I have added a new server and can fetch data from it. However, it is a Japanese server and the encoding should be "EACC". Koha doesn't offer this encoding. If I use "UTF-8" then all the Japanese characters are returned as garbled text like so: 100$1i$^i$si$Si$-i$Ni$Mi$3(B / | $1i%Ri%ci%/i%^i%si%Si%-(B $1i%N(B $1i%Mi%3(B. | hyakumanbiki no neko. I have followed these steps already to set apache/mysql to utf8: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Encoding_and_Character_Sets_in_Koha But I do not see anything in the wiki documentation about adding encodings. This discussion seems related although there is no conclusion/solution: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/fuF7ADPjh9Qi1sG4I7HZ Can anyone please point in the right direction to add EACC, ISO-2022-jp, EUC and other encodings? Thanks, Zac

It depends -- it might be as simple as changing one template (specifically, koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/z3950servers.tt) to allow selecting an encoding that iconv can handle, or it might require programming. It would be useful to know specifically which Z39.50 target(s) you're trying to use, assuming that they are publicly available.
