Not too much. The librarians here usually want some strings changed, e.g. Return instead of check - in. This would be less than 10% in my estimation.

It will be so wonderful to have the strings printed out here in Nigeria. A lot of people who can help are not that "computer friendly"

Thanks for the response.
