Hi Layale, looking at the link you included, I think the itemtype descriptions were configured in Arabic, as they stay in Arabic when switching to English. This would be done under Administration > Itemtypes.
In 3.22 there is a new feature to configure multiple translations for every itemtype. This means that it will show the itemtype description according to the selected translation. Bug 14100 - Add base to make item types, branch names, sysprefs values and authorised values translatable http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14100 In earlier versions you could use jQuery in the OpacUserJs system preference to achieve a similar effect. if ($('html').attr('lang')=='ar-Arab') { ... } Hope this helps, Katrin Am 01.12.2015 um 10:06 schrieb Layale Bassil: > Hello Mr. Massoud, > > We are using Koha 3.14 in Arabic, but when we enter to the Advanced Search > (opac-search.pl) page, the list of item types is still in English.
