Hi all . I'm looking to develop the result of koha translation process in Arabic
as you know the Arabic language is deffer from English in Arabic we read and write from right to left this is possible to be modified by hand but if we want to create an Arabic version of koha we need to make the text by default goes from right to left . so what we have to do to make this koha Arabic Version ? and make it as a choice in the installations steps when selecting Arabic. I think my group can edit the css files and make this ok (direction rtl ) but how to make this changes Permanent for every new Arabic Koha installation can we make some default template for Arabic language , or that can be selected from the po files in some way ? or it must be included in the koha package , or what ? Both Arabic and Hebrew, and the non-Semitic languages using the Arabic or the Hebrew alphabet, such as Persian and Yiddish, are written from right to left (except for their numbers!). Urdu which is also derived from Arabic and Persian language and ancient indo - aryan language binti is written from right to left. Ancient Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and the oldest Latin could be written in both directions. Also Chinese and Japanese can be written right to left (also written from top to bottom, vertically). Korean is NOT written from right to left I wish we discuss this to make the next koha version fully supported for Arabic language Kind regards -- Karam Qubsi Koha Arab translation Team http:koha.wikibrary.org Wikibrary for Arab librarians http://wikibrary.org _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
