Hi David,

it seems likely that these are unused. It would be nice to update our structure there, especially for easier translations. Bernardo has been working on something for this in the past:

*Bug 12017* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12017> - Move language description out of database

Hi all,

I was looking at how to add languages to the Languages drop down in the OPAC advanced search and went down an unpleasant C4::Languages rabbithole…

But looking at language_descriptions, I’m wondering if perhaps we could delete the following data, as I imagine it’s very outdated and unused:

MySQL [koha_kohadev]> select * from language_descriptions;

+----------+----------+------+---------------------------------------+-----+

| subtag   | type     | lang | description                           | id  |

+----------+----------+------+---------------------------------------+-----+

| opac     | i        | en   | OPAC                                  |   1 |

| opac     | i        | fr   | OPAC                                  |   2 |

| opac     | i        | de   | OPAC                                  |   3 |

| intranet | i        | en   | Staff Client                          |   4 |

At the moment, it looks like adding a language requires manual SQL queries to language_subtag_registry, language_descriptions, and language_rfc4646_to_iso639. It’s a shame there is no native interface for updating it. I imagine a plugin could work out well for it, although I think for the library in mind they’ll probably just do a manual insert, as it’s not worth the development cost…
