Hello Mr. Massoud,
We are using Koha 3.14 in Arabic, but when we enter to the Advanced Search (opac-search.pl) page, the list of item types is still in English. Where can I fix this issue and enter the translations of the item types? Which files should I edit. I checked the version you have: http://maktabat.mu.edu.sa/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl and everything is perfectly translated to Arabic.
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

AlayKum Assalam Jesse. Thank you for your email.
You are correct. We have implemented Arabic Koha 3.18 here (
http://maktabat.mu.edu.sa/) at Majmaa University, which is about 150km north of Riyadh.
My company, KnowledgeWare Technologies, is in charge of tthe ranslating task of Koha releases to Arabic. Here is a demo site of Arabic Koha integrated with EBSCO EDS: http://arkoha.maktabat-online.net/ .
We have also localized VuFind 2.5 to Arabic, which is a very powerful a discovery portal that provides metasearch or federated search to all sorts of data sources, including Koha ILS, DSpace IR, EDS/Summon eJournals as is demonstrated here: VuFind: http://arkoha.maktabat-online.net/vufind2/
I too did not make it to KohaCon15 this year in Nigeria. I was just responding to Mr. Brooke's nice email missing to see someone attending the conference from the Middle East, which is unfortunate for us.
Thanks,
Massoud M. AlShareef,
Correct. This is Koha OPAC at Majamaa University
