http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7983 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 7983 Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Summary: Grammar fix for emailing lists QA Contact: koha.sekjal@gmail.com Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: nengard@gmail.com Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: master Component: OPAC Product: Koha The text at the top of the email sent when sending lists has come gramma issues in it. This is what is says: Hi, Nicole , sent you from our online catalog, the virtual shelf called : nicole. This is what it should say: Hi, PATRON sent you the "LIST NAME" list from the LIBRARY NAME catalog. Of course the ideal is to have this be a customizable notice like the others in the system, but for now we should at least fix the grammar since it's a bit confusing.

PATRON sent you the "LIST NAME" list from the LIBRARY NAME catalog.
I think this is a translation issue. The above sentence structure works in English but might not in another language. The existing version may have been written to accommodate this problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It looks pretty bad that a library in the US is sending this email when we promote education and literacy ... this from the librarian who reported this issue to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Heh, that librarian should remember that Koha is a global project, and that USians spell things funny anyway :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I know, I was making the point that even in English there are syntactical differences and making it jokingly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
