[Bug 25446] New: Terminology: Replace relatives by other term? (family members, group members...)
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25446 Bug ID: 25446 Summary: Terminology: Replace relatives by other term? (family members, group members...) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Templates Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org I've been wondering if relatives is a good term to use in Koha context. In times where families are not all related to each other, maybe using another term would be nicer and more inclusive? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

If we want to change relatives, I would avoid anything family related. Although there is no way that I know of to link accounts without the guarantor/guarantee relationship. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I quite like "relatives" because I tend to interpret it in a wider sense - people who have some relation to each other - rather than as "blood relatives". But a native English speaker may have a different point of view! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Hi Aude, that's interesting! I didn't look at it like that, as I automatically "translate" it to another term in German. Maybe we should consider using a different German translation :) I'd also be interested to get some native speaker opinions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
