Maybe there is a misunderstanding.

- Item types are defined by the library (or loaded together with the example
values, in the language choosen for installation).
- When defining an item type, the library can define translations for other
(installed) languages as well. E.g. in Switzerland a library could define an
item type with code 'BUCH' and the description "Buch" for German and the
translated descriptions "Livre" for French and "Libro" for Italian
- The (translated) description appears (is overlayed) depending on the language
selected by the user.
- You can not po-i-size that because the library defines the item types.
