Bahasa Malaysia/ Malay Translation for Koha Underway
by Jesse Kah
We would like to inform the Koha Community that the full translation of Koha in our Malaysia language, Bahasa Malaysia/ Malay has been completed!
Our team has been working on the Koha Malay translation for 1 month. So far the most of the interfaces and features are now completed. Meanwhile, we are still working on the details, more to the Global Parameters settings and so forth. We shall announce to the community once it is completed.
Currently, we have applied the total full translation language pack to one of the Federal Government Departments of Malaysia.
Users from Malaysia may also enjoy the Koha Malay translation by downloading it via google link.
Further inquiries on the translation or any suggestion, you may connect with us at the following:
