[Bug 7789] New: Add translations of item type and authorized value descriptions
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7789 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 7789 Assignee: frederic@tamil.fr Summary: Add translations of item type and authorized value descriptions QA Contact: koha.sekjal@gmail.com Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: oleonard@myacpl.org Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: master Component: I18N/L10N Product: Koha Created attachment 8471 --> http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=8471&action=edit Mockup of a possible implementation for Item Types Since descriptions of item types and authorized values are stored in the database, there is no way to translate them. This creates a problem if the descriptions in the database are in one language but your user has switched to another. I propose that we add a language column to the itemtypes and authorised_values tables. For existing installations the existing data would remain with an empty "language" value, and this option would be displayed by default. If a library adds a set of language-specific translations that set will be displayed when that language is chosen. I think the entry form would not require extensive updating, but the display of existing values in Administration might. I'm thinking that each language's values might be displayed in a separate tab. See the attached mockup. The tabs could be displayed based on enabled languages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

For this we might have to create a new authorized value for configuring item type description? This would certainly create a lot more complexity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

How will it works? How to fine the appropriate description depending on language? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I think we can agree that it would be nice to have multilanguage support for itemtype and authorized value descriptions. Now... how to get there? I think talking about it we are thinking more and more of a table holding the language codes and translated descriptions. Perhaps use the existing description in the table as a fallback, use the authorised value id + a code telling that it's being referenced from authorized values in a separate table to refer to translated descriptions? (hope that does make sense) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
