There is an urgent need to make authorised values translatable in mulitlingual
installations. For the examples I take English (en), French (FR-fr and German
(de-DE).

Example:
OPAC (Public interface)
- Set syspref 'suggestion' to: [Allow] patrons to make purchase suggestions on
the OPAC.
- Select English
- OPAC: Log in, go to Purchase suggestions > Create a new suggesion
- The dropdown "Reason for suggestion:" shows the authorised values from
OPAC_SUG, e.g. "The copy on the shelf is damaged" and "Upcoming title by
popular author"
- Select German
- The dropdown "Begründung" shows the same (English) values.

Intranet (Staff client)
- Go to Home > Acquisitions > Suggestions management > New purchase suggestion
- Switch between languages, the dropdown "Reason for suggestion" changes the
label, but the values are not ranslated.
- Same with the detail view of a suggestion

There are more places with similar problems. The only (poor and ugly looking)
possibility is to have multilingual text in the same entry, e.g.
"Damaged | Beschädigt | Abîmé"
"Upcoming title by popular author | Neuer Titel eines populären Autors |Oeuvre
...." - oh, that gets very long for one line in a drop down...

I propose a solution that implements a language overlay for authorised values.
It is minimal invasive and can immediately be used in production.
Patch follows.
