I would like to see all bugs fixed, but I only have so much time, and given a choice between getting paid for it and not getting paid for it, the former almost always wins. 13:22 chris_n ie. rmaint "paid" me nothing tangible and often "cost" me tangibly (ie. time away from family, etc) 13:22 cait http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/describecomponents.cgi 13:21 cait and you are right.. my english is broken again 13:21 cait so any ideas about a module? 13:21 chris_n bug hunt sounds like a good start 13:21 cait yeah, think you are true, that was a bit hard 13:21 cait yeah perhaps 13:20 chris_n I don't think that most consciously think "I'm not going to get paid, so I won't do that," but I think the practicality of life often forces that decision unconsciously 13:20 cait because noone is going to sponsor to work on an old bug.. but you have to factor it in somehow 13:20 magnuse cait++ for setting up a bug hunt experiment! 13:20 cait 'i don't get paid for that' 13:19 cait i think a lot of people want... what I don' like is the 13:19 cait what would be a good one to start with?

13:15 francharb I'm going to test it this way 13:15 francharb thank you for the advice! 13:15 francharb nengard, that what I was about to test! 13:15 nengard I always recommend those I train to leave it to Don't 13:15 nengard I have that set to Don't 13:14 nengard jinx :) 13:14 jcamins chris_n: I would even offer to do weekly fudge fests. 13:14 francharb nengard, maybe "AutomaticItemReturn"... 13:14 nengard francharb what do you have AutomaticItemReturn set to? 13:14 magnuse cait: sounds cool 13:14 cait that we could try to automate later on (me looks at francharb) 13:14 nengard but there is a sys pref that might be effecting that 13:14 jcamins chris_n: that makes sense, then. 13:14 chris_n something which would require some motivation to do well on the part of the signer-offer 13:14 nengard francharb yes, i thought you always had to check in items when they were transferred 13:14 cait so we could clean up bugzilla and get some serious testing done + get some written test plans 13:13 cait and document tests on the wiki and look at the bugs for thatmodule 13:13 chris_n jcamins: no, just not something like a pound of gold 13:13 francharb nengard, could you just tell if I always need to check the item in when it arrives at the other library (the library I'm transfering to) ? 13:13 cait like: try to shake out all bugs in module x 13:13 jcamins Ah. 13:13 chris_n jcamins: yes or the assignee, whichever is more appropriate 13:13 cait maybe we could do bug hunts 13:13 jcamins I thought by "disinterested" you meant the fudge should come from someone else. 13:13 cait another idea 13:13 magnuse yeah, if we just agree on a keyword it should work 13:13 cait ah 13:13 jcamins chris_n: oh, are you proposing having the submitter sponsor the fudge? 13:13 chris_n but may do what cait suggests 13:13 chris_n I think their usefulness is limited 13:12 chris_n magnuse: true 13:12 chris_n with hourly rates avg $75-$100 range, I'd say fudge is cheap 13:12 huginn 04Bug 4867: major, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, cnighswonger, RESOLVED FIXED, cannot clone subfields in marc editor, other clone/unclone weirdness 13:12 magnuse looks like "Keywords" are just a free text field?

I'm hoping to test an approach to that in the next day or two...will take a little longer to fancy up the tool to edit, but if I can get the code working... 08:52 cait there are also the xml cataloging plugins which are untranslatable now :( and the xml chosen is a bit weird making it hard to be parsed 08:52 cait opaccredits, opacmain, the header one, the one on the no results page... and so on 08:51 cait druthb: that would solve the problem of switching languages - we have a whole bunch of those and we add more and more - but not working well for multiple languages 08:51 cait and adding a default language system preference 08:50 rangi Poedit will tell u what's wrong with the .po file 08:50 cait into something like the news editor would be nice 08:50 cait I think moving the opac system preferneces 08:50 cait :) 08:50 druthb The locals here are trying to ramp up projects *now*, so I'm working in the existing framework--hopefully, we have time for a better one soon, but these folks are hot to trot to get Koha busy displacing SirsiDynix in the middle-east. 08:48 cait and i worry that persistency will not make it fast enough - like rangi said 08:48 cait we have lots of different components and things playing together 08:47 cait we have tt 08:47 cait we have xml 08:47 cait we have lots of javascript 08:47 cait it's too complicated for that 08:47 cait I am not sure on the fly translation will solve all our problems 08:47 fredericd It's a team of Syrian, Algerian, Tunisian people, 08:46 fredericd y 08:46 druthb please. The folks I'm working with here will probably want to talk to them....could you email? 08:45 fredericd druthb: Do you want the name and email address of the person responsible of Arabic translation? 08:45 magnuse yay 08:45 * druthb is feeling smug. The office boy here--who speaks no English at all--came in, carrying a tiny cup of turkish coffee for my counterpart. He looked at me, and pointed at the cup with a questioning look...and I said, "shy"...and he brought me tea, sugared just right for me. 08:44 rangi That's still slower 08:44 fredericd yes 08:44 rangi There is always speed issues, just less 08:44 fredericd the whole translation file is loaded in memory, and getting translation is just a lookup in hash 08:44 rangi Yes there is 08:43 fredericd rangi: no speed issue with persistency 08:43 druthb ! 08:43 fredericd cait: But with an improved framework, we could avoid having non-sense strings to translate, and much less strings, and constructed strings, no pieces of strings 08:43 rangi Also it needs to be very fast 08:42 cait it took ages to get translations where I don't fall over a typo or weird term on every page 08:42 cait and then oyu have something that is not consistent 08:42 cait it takes weeks 08:42 cait well we should try 08:42 fredericd cait: almost impossible... 08:41 cait I mean transfer existing work to the new framework 08:41 cait and we have to find a way to keep existing translations 08:41 druthb by the by, fredericd...the current ar-Arab .po files simply do not apply...the translate script can't make it fly. That load server is running 3.6.x...I don't know who has messed up the .po for that, but it is a serious mess. (also, my Arabic friends tell me, the quality of the translation of strings is pretty poor. 08:41 fredericd He manages a large web application with its framework 08:41 fredericd You could get in touch directly with him 08:40 fredericd druthb: The translation framework I would favor is done by a German: https://metacpan.org/author/GUIDO 08:39 rangi So have 6 months to fix 08:39 druthb Yah, it's almost gonna have to be a red-letter-day switch. There are about 450 templates in the staff, about 50 in OPAC. 08:39 rangi Yep it would have to be done in one go, and right at the start of a cycle 08:39 fredericd maybe a MEGA hackfest! 08:38 cait oh fun 08:38 cait h fun 08:38 fredericd I don't see how it could be done incrementaly 08:38 druthb That'd be a bit of a chore. 08:38 fredericd For me, the difficulty is that if we switch to a coherent translation framework, whichever it is, we will have to mark string to be translated in ALL existing templates 08:38 * druthb nods. As I've not worked with either before, I'm unqualified to have an opinion. 08:37 rangi Also fredericd is right about using the appropriate modules 08:37 druthb New directory==new complexity==bad. But the patch *works* as it is, so his first swing at it is sound. Now to make it "fit" better. 08:36 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8044 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, julian.maurice, Signed Off , Localization for Perl scripts and modules 08:36 druthb fredericd: I agree with part of your latest on bug 8044--that needs to be in the existing translation framework. 08:36 fredericd and it allow translation on-the-fly, without generating files, again and again 08:36 druthb My strategy is : 1) nothing at all that would be a fork..everything comes to the community. 2) minimal change for other devs 3) reduce the problem down to string translation with pootle, everywhere possible. 08:36 fredericd much more reliable than parsing (as done currently for templates) 08:36 fredericd druthb: I also agree that placeholder is the solution generally used in any software I've seen 08:35 druthb yes. 08:35 cait similar to how javascript works? 08:35 druthb cait: I'm thinking of using placeholders around the strings-to-translate....then only C4::Installer::load_sql needs to be fixed to cope. 08:34 cait druthb: you would need a query parser for sql... not sure that is doable because it's hard to tell what is a string and what not 08:34 druthb fredericd: That works, if you only want one language...the way I did it on that test opac works, but is non-optimal. I want it where, if you're in English, you see English, if arabic, you see arabic. 08:34 fredericd druthb++ for translating SQL files on the fly from .po files... 08:33 cait [off] https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=30613 08:33 fredericd For OPACMainUserBlock, isn't CSS class="rtl" enough? 08:33 druthb we're also investigating a better way to deal with installer/data/mysql/<lang> than what we are doing now. That's not sustainable, IMO; I'd like to move it --somehow-- into the existing translation framework. 08:33 cait [off] https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=dvd 08:33 cait [off] 08:32 cait fredericd: we have a solution for 880 fields in marc21 08:32 druthb It's been a while since I looked at it, cait. 08:32 fredericd I'm not sure it's MARC21 transposable since it uses a UNIMARC $7 subfield containing explicitely the writing code 08:32 cait druthb: but you have seen the 880 with hebrew in marc21, right? 08:31 druthb One of the things I want to address on this trip is having some mechanism for OPACMainUserBlock and other html blocks be switchable in value, based on the current language setting. Very useful for multilinguals. 08:30 druthb No, I haven't. I'll be sure to, as that may be needed for MARC21, which is commonly in use in Jordan. 08:30 fredericd it helps for multi-lingual catalogs 08:30 druthb You can take a look at the opac at http://L17.load.bywatersolutions.com 08:29 fredericd druthb: Have you seen how UNIMARC XSL support Arabic/Hebrew writing? 08:28 francharb ++ 08:28 druthb thanks, fredericd. I'm kind of improvising, as I only speak/read English. But the folks I am working with like what I'm doing so far. 08:28 cait druthb++ yep 08:28 cait hi fredericd :) 08:27 fredericd for working on RTL languages 08:27 fredericd druthb++ 08:25 dgl-library Hi #koha! 07:45 Oak ah. got it. 07:45 druthb It's 03:45 for chris_n, Oak...probably not around yet. 07:44 Oak chris_n, are you free? 07:43 Oak hmm. well next time i should do *that* then. 07:43 cait I think chris_n might be able to help you with the font size - not sure who else 07:43 cait Oak: same here - buying premade barcode labels mostly 07:42 francharb If they dont, they use the label creator 07:41 Oak that would be easier 07:41 Oak ah 07:41 francharb Libraries I'm working with usually buy them on stickers 07:40 Oak hmm okay. so how do you guys print barcodes? 07:40 francharb Oak, I wish I could help you but I just don't know... :( 07:40 druthb I've not worked with the labels much, Oak; I know there are some problems with some fonts. 07:40 Oak help me then. 07:40 Oak cool. 07:40 cait on vacation 07:40 cait no not today 07:40 cait :) 07:39 Oak cait time for you to leave? 07:38 Oak the "Font" and "Font Size" option here << Home › Tools › Labels Home › Manage Label Layouts › Edit Label Layout >> has no effect when I change them. 07:38 Oak i am printing the just the barcode... the barcode lines, and the barcode number under the lines. the font of the numbers is too thin and smallish compared to the labels. how can I increase the font size of the barcode number? 07:36 Oak o dear people my question not worth an answer huh? 07:36 druthb I'm working on right-to-left layout translation right now. 07:33 francharb sounds cool! 07:32 cait hi all :) 07:32 druthb hi, cait! 07:32 druthb francharb: yes, I'm workin'. We're working with an organization here to improve Koha for Arabic and other right-to-left languages. (and other facets of translation.) 07:29 Oak software... i mean 07:29 Oak should I use the built-in label creator in Koha for printing barcodes, or is there a better option? 07:26 francharb :) 07:26 francharb anyway, must be great 07:26 francharb I thought you were visiting 07:26 francharb oh but you are working 07:21 druthb I'll be here until the 18th of May. 07:21 druthb a man just came thorough the office where I am working...my counterpart here said he was taking up collections for an orphanage, after he left.. I said I would be happy to contribute, so they called him back, and Ihab translated for me, and I gave him 20 dinars. Good Karma Is Cheap. 07:20 francharb how long do you stay there? 07:20 francharb lucky you 07:17 * druthb is in Amman, Jordan. 07:17 francharb druthb, where were you going to? 07:14 druthb I got the closest I have ever been to Marseille over the weekend.
