How to add new language translation into Koha

Koha supports many language translations. Add a new language (e.g. Arabic) by using the following steps,
Open Applications > System > Terminal and apply the following commands,

sudo su 
export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml
export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib

Enter inside the translation folder,

cd /usr/share/koha/misc/translator

Check and find the availability of translations and language codes.

koha-translate --list --available

Find the desired language code (e.g. Arabic) and apply the command to install it,

perl translate install ar-Arab

Confirm that the Arabic language translation installed into Koha,

koha-translate --list

Enable the newly added translation, visiting
Administration > System Preferences > I18N/L10N > Language & OPAC languages

Check the languages and save changes.

To see the change, visit the Koha staff client, refresh the page. See the name of the translations that appeared at the left bottom part of the Koha staff client.
