The URL to the Koha 22.05 manual<br><br>* https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/<br><br>says it is the "Koha 22.05 (development) Manual (en)" while on page <br>https://koha-community.org/documentation/ it still says Koha 21.11 is <br>the stable version.<br><br>4.

The long ones with tons of %s %s %s %s %s <br>part of which must be retranslated over and over each version when one <br>thing has changed.<br><br>They can be fixed with the same simple method as Bug 29602 - We must be <br>nicer with translators<br>That is adding <span> tags around the strings to have nice broken down <br>approach.<br><br>So if anyone can take a look at 30733 even for a partial review of the <br>code that would be awesome.
