Time Nick Message 12:31 lloyd_ mm whre's realy bot gone 13:08 kados paul: are you around? 13:13 hdl hi kados 13:13 kados hey hdl 13:16 owen Hi guys 13:16 kados hey owen 13:29 paul hi back kados & hi owen. 13:30 paul kados : we have 2 solutions : either a syspref to choose what languages to display (simpler), or let the user choose in a tools/ which translations to generate & let him DL .po files from translate.koha.org (much more complex) 13:32 owen The best interface for language selection would probably be a set of checkboxes, which you couldn't do with systempreferences the way its set up now 13:33 owen ...Unless there was an interface for installing/uninstalling translations 13:41 kados paul: I think all of the translations should be pre-generated for every release 13:42 kados paul: and we just need a syspref to say which ones to display 13:42 kados or as owen says, a set of checkboxes 14:42 hdl kados : question about z3950 search and ImportBreeding. 14:43 hdl Both are using FixEncoding. I think that from a performance point of view this is not the best solution. 14:44 hdl Is there a reason to do FixEncoding in ImportBreeding rather than having it in z3950 search ? 14:59 gmcharlt hdl: for some Z39.50 servers, that would be an improvement, yes 14:59 gmcharlt hdl: but in the general case, you don't always know the encoding of a MARC record returned by a Z39.50 server without checking it first 14:59 hdl what would be an improvement ? 15:00 gmcharlt hdl: using YAZ to try to convert a MARC record the UTF8 15:37 kados gmcharlt: bulkauthimport.pl dies with encoding issues with the sample data I tried ... 15:37 kados gmcharlt: would FixEncoding be the solution to that? 15:38 gmcharlt possibly -- I'll work on it 15:38 kados k 15:57 hdl kados : is your data with diacritics ? 16:04 kados hdl: yes 16:05 hdl I found that there were some serious issues with utf8 and unicode management. 16:05 hdl For instance : 16:05 hdl é has 3 representations. 16:06 hdl And we have to normalize data so that we produce the é that will be recognized in Unicode XML. 16:07 hdl Even the char_decode as it was could not help solving this for me. 16:07 gmcharlt hdl: what is the name of the character you're talking about: not showing up in my IRC view? 16:08 hdl Because it would produce é as \xc3\xa9 (E ACUTE) 16:08 hdl but \xc3\xa9 is known as hangul character and not E ACUTE. 16:09 hdl I just sent a new FixEncoding 16:09 hdl That uses encoding information (little change in z3950servers table) 16:10 hdl And uses Text::Iconv for the most encoding problems. 16:10 hdl ISO5426 is assigned by a new char_decode5426 16:48 owen Hey pate 16:48 pate hiya owen 16:48 hdl hi pate 16:48 owen I saw in the log you popped in the other day. How's it going? 16:48 pate pretty well 16:48 hdl Happy New Year 16:49 pate thanks hdl, and the same to you 16:49 pate I figured it was time I checked in and saw how koha is doing these days 16:49 pate it looks like you guys are really getting stuff done with it 16:50 owen You betcha 16:50 atz yeah, it's been on high gear lately 17:10 kados pate: we have our first Armenian translation :-) 17:12 pate cool!
