Re: [Koha] languages choice in Koha 3.18.1
Hope this is below 40 kn ! Please, refer to these: http://turl.ca/kohalang1 AND http://turl.ca/kohalang2 In the search settings, I have selected *san,ben,hin,eng,fre,ita* (as per ISO 639-2 language codes = Sanskrit, Bengali, Hindi, English, French, Italian), as limitation to the choices for the OPAC dropdown in the Advanced Search page. (I have also tried with the pipe separator: *san|ben|hin|eng|fre|ita*... with the same result! ) However, in the actual dropdown, the choice does not include the language Sanskrit PLUS the order is not the one of my choiceor not even an A-Z order... Could any kind koha-expert check into this and explain why the Sanskrit language does not appear as a choice in the OPAC search dropdown? And why the order of the languages is not the same, as the one I have indicated in the administration? I think we should be able to arrange the languages as per our choice and requirements or, at the very worst, in an A-Z order, for this feature to be useful to the users. Even better, as I am seen in most of the best websites, nowadays, there should be a clickable multiple choice, not a single one! In such a way that, for ex., if I want to find out how many titles I have in any Indic language, I can select Sanskrit, Bengali and Hindi or, instead, if I want to know how many in any European language, I can select English, French and Italian. This will be the best, I guess... and kindly suggest :) Thank you: Mr. Angelo Pugliese (HeadLibrarian) BhaktiVedanta Research Centre Kolkata (Calcutta), India (I am on the latest Mint server, with the latest Koha 3.18.1; client on Windows, 16 RAM)
I don't know if others saw this message... I just found it in my Spam folder.

The list of languages which appear in the OPAC is stored in the Koha database, but it looks like Sanskrit is not included by default. As far as I can tell the data is pulled without any order defined, so the results simply match the order in which they were added. I assume that Sanskrit could be added manually to the database but I'm not sure what changes need to be made. Perhaps someone else knows? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
There are two different things related to adding languages: 1) Add language descriptions to the DB (you should fill a specific bug requesting it on http://bugs.koha-community.org) 2) Adding Sanskrit as a supported/translated language For the latter you should subscribe the koha-translate list and request for addition there. I'm pretty sure the Translation Manager will take the time to do it once he's back from vacations. Regards Tomas El Wed Jan 07 2015 at 16:41:30, Owen Leonard (<oleonard@myacpl.org>) escribió:
