[Koha-devel] Expected behaviour if itemtype does not exist

[Katrin]

Hi Jonathan,

I am not sure if I understand correctly, but I think translating the 
itemtype descriptions should be optional not mandatory, so not causing 
errors if the itemtype otherwise is set up correctly (having a 'default' 
description).

Hope that helps,

Katrin
