[Koha] Adding languages to Advanced Search

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Ruben,
You will not have to recompile Koha from source.

However your objective cannot be achieved merely with configuration. The 
language is not there to be configured, at present.

You've done well to get as far as you have, but to proceed you will 
probably need technical support. If you do not have that inhouse, you 
might find help from this directory:

I hope this helps,
Bob
