FOLIO项目需要中国用户的宝贵反馈!

哈啰，我是欧阳，

目前我正在跟FOLIO项目的用户体验团队进行合作，目标是使FOLIO成为一个适用于全球用户的友好系统。

我们很想了解中国用户可能有的具体用例，问题，想法或疑虑，有什么特别的事项需要关注吗？或是，中国图书馆有特殊工作流程需要支援的吗？

欢迎在下方分享您的问题与想法！

感谢您！

Hi Ou Yang,

We may help on Chinese use cases and interfaces. So please contact me when you finish your holidays.
Happy New Year!

你好！很愿意参与其中，但又不知道自己能做些什么！

Are you going to be in ALA winter conference of 2019.
We can discuss this topic from vendor perspective.

个人的一些观点。

本地化的目的，是为了更好的服务本地人群，定制化的缘由，是出于某些方面的差异。

为了把FOLIO打造成全球用户的友好系统，足够开放的平台，是一个非常好的承接载体。希望能够更多的了解FOLIO，激发中国本地用户的需求。

谢谢！

Using Google Translate. Hopefully the translations are close enough to be understood.

Some personal opinions.

The purpose of localization is to better serve the local population. The reason for customization is due to some differences.

In order to make FOLIO a friendly system for users around the world, an open platform is a very good carrier. I hope to learn more about FOLIO and stimulate the needs of local Chinese users.

Thank you!

FOLIO is being built with an international audience in mind. One way that is being done is to set up a system for translating the text strings in the user interface. As I check this morning, 95% of the text strings have been translated to Simplified Chinese. There are 11 people registered to make Chinese translations in the project’s translation service (Lokalise.co).

FOLIO正在建立时考虑到国际观众。 正在做的一种方法是建立一个用于在用户界面中翻译文本字符串的系统。 正如我今天早上检查的那样，95％的文本字符串已被翻译成简体中文。 有11人在该项目的翻译服务中注册了中文翻译(Lokalise.co).

The google Chinese translation is understandable. Thank you, Peter.

请问你也在研究FOLIO项目吗，可以一起交流。

Hello Keven，
I am a librarian from UIC of Zhuhai city, Could you share some information on the usage，some librarian said the complexity of management is high, is right?

Hi Yogi Huang,

I am not quite sure what does it mean by complexity of management. Have they tested the system already? Which system is it? Can you give a URL? Our application is not yet live, some modules will be available by about April this year. We are very excited about the new platform. It may be very different from common ILS, but it is certainly no more complex than previous systems. However any unfamiliar system may be considered complex.

Yogi, in case your question addresses the technical part of system installation and management: There is a steep learning curve from traditional system installation to reasonably supporting the architecture that Folio is using (Microservices, preferably virtualisation & container deplyoment; orchestration). We are a library network headquarter and plan to host ourselves. But we recommend to single libraries not to host themselves, because the system is too complex. We recommend to occupy a network / consortium with the hosting. The libraries should then make service agreements (SaaS) with the consortium. I think this is also the plan in China, from what I have read.

Ingolf_Kuss1, Keven,
thanks for your answer, as you said, the system is too complex, maybe hosting is a great way to do this. And we are using Aleph, not in a hurry to change the system at now.
Hope Folio has a great start within Shanghai Library. I will increase my attention at Folio.
