Hi, saluton, hola, bonjour,
String freeze is into effect as of now for the 20.05.x maintenance branch.
This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform:
https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/
Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 20.05,
then you must also copy it to 20.11 and 21.05.
Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions.
Happy translating :)

The desktop application has been rocksolid for many years now! I’ve always
shied away from the browser based I’ll find circulations simply because if
something goes wrong, like the browser crashing and losing data or
something, there’s no way to get that data back. The offline circulation
desktop application writes everything to file as you perform actions so the
data doesn’t get lost in the event of a crash.

Hello,
String freeze is into effect as of now for the 19.11.x maintenance
branch in preparation for the 19.11.23 release.
This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform:
https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/
Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 19.11, then you
must also copy it to 20.05, 20.11 and 21.05. Otherwise your work will be
lost for future versions.
Happy translating!

Does that mean that you actually have a lot of people using the desktop application? Interesting!

This functionality is an important part of Koha's feature set, so +1
to always having at least one up-to-date option available.

For 22.05, Calalyst and Wainui are offering to maintain 19.11, and
there is a gap as there is no candidate for 20.05.
So it's kind of our first LTS :)

In the first step I was suggesting a script in the release-tools repo
to auto-apply a patch set on the different stable branches.
But then, our imagination is the limit :)
