[Koha] Adding languages to Advanced Search

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Rubén,

you can add new entries to the pull down list using jQuery or you can 
add your new language to the database. The language list is created 
using data from the db, including the translations. I've found an old 
bug for you that adds a new language as an example:

Hope that helps,

Katrin
