Not all ISO 639.2 Language Codes are recognised by Koha, causing many languages to not be searchable using the language filter.
FKA Children's Services in Melbourne, Australia provided multilingual resources and currently can't search for over a third of the languages in their collection.
Comment 3 Kelly McElligott 2019-03-18 20:03:04 UTC
This is a concern with a Nunavut library moving over to Koha.  Over half their collection is in the Inuktitut language, however, currently, this language is not searchable with the language feature. Inuktitut is included in the ISO 639-2 Language Code list, therefore, can it be included in the Koha dropdown list of languages?
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2019-03-18 20:45:05 UTC
Hi Kelly, it looks like bug 15067 will take care of Inuktitut.
