Re: [Koha-devel] Welcome new Koha translators

[Joe Atzberger]

Kurt and Tao --

Welcome both of you to the Koha development list.  It is great to hear your interest extending the reach of the Koha project.  

For practical instructions on how to begin translation, the first place to start is:

http://translate.koha.org/

There is also a separate translators' listserv via address@hidden with more information available at:

http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-translate

The members of that list are the most likely to be helpful with the details of how to proceed.

Tao, you may be pleased to see that 2 partial Chinese translations already have been started.  Your vision of Koha in schools  across China is very exciting!  

Kurt, you will want to contact Josh Ferraro (via that list, for example) to request Dutch be added to translate.koha.org.  

Thanks for your interest and efforts!

We are working on implementing the Koha library software in our music academy which is situated in the northern Dutch speaking part of Belgium.  We would like to translate the OPAC file into Dutch.  How do we proceed in order to do so?  Can Dutch be added to the list of languages?  And what do we do next?

Awaiting your reply,
Kind regards
