Koha Free Software – Malayalam Translation Project

Dear friends,

We know Koha is mostly used by academic libraries and most of them are using the English interface. Currently, only eight Indian languages are available on the Koha interface. That includes Malayalam too. Hindi and Telugu translations have been already completed. The translation of other languages including Malayalam is not completed. Off-course, this is a proud step, and we cordially invite everyone to take part in this project by translating the Koha software interface into Malayalam. You can follow the accompanying instructions prepared by Dr. Vimal Kumar V. to know how to do Malayalam translation. It is hoped that the Malayalam translation will pave the way for using Koha more in public libraries of Kerala. Participation in the Koha translation project does not require any technical expertise. See the instructions
