[Koha-devel] Discussion of account types / labels

[David Cook]

Hi Katrin,

 

I don’t understand your email. My suggestion would yield support for different languages (for anything using Template Toolkit templates). As far as I understand, that’s how we currently provide internationalization support in Koha. Am I missing something?

 

Admittedly, I haven’t done much with the REST API yet, but I assume that the API would just deal with codes? And if we were calling the API from the OPAC, we’d just use templates that rely on the codes.

Hi all,

please keep in mind that 'translated' doesn't mean into one language, but should allow for supporting different languages at the same time, especially if those descriptions were to be used for APIs as well.

I was pondering this yesterday as well. 

 

I figure a lookup table in the database that contains the code and a description (for reporting and administration purposes), but use translatable strings in templates using the code as hooks.

Whatever they are changed to needs to be translatable.

 

Agreed. I suspect that the trade-offs between 'We would like this to be translatable' and 'we need these values to be un-editable' (I.e. not authorized values) are probably what's kept things as they are.
