[Koha] Adding languages to Advanced Search

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Rubén,

the patch was to show the SQL that is needed in order to add a new 
language, as the list is created from data in the database. Here is an 
example:

Example:

INSERT IGNORE INTO language_descriptions(subtag, type, lang, description) VALUES ( 'ka', 'language', 'ka', 'ქართული');

For translations:
INSERT IGNORE INTO language_descriptions(subtag, type, lang, description) VALUES ( 'ka', 'language', 'fr', 'Géorgien');
...

You could also file a bug on bugzilla about adding Esperanto to the list for new versions.
